Electronic Emergency brakes in vehicles are fucking insane.
The fact they are allowed and legal is frankly shocking to me.
An Emergency brake has to work in case of EMERGENCY. This includes losing power to the vehicle.
You lose power you lose your one emergency braking mechanism.
It should ONLY be manual, run with cables, so that no matter what happens, should you be in some kind of emergency that you can use the Emergency brake to stop the vehicle.
Electrical issues are literally the most common type of issue to run into overall in vehicles, and you decide that you should tie your last possible emergency measure to bring the vehicle to a stop into the least trustworthy part of the entire system.
Its nuts, and buying a vehicle with an electric emergency brake is bonkers.
When electric it should only be referred to as an "emergency" brake.
