You realize that one break connection being dead on a wired connection doesn’t mean the whole system takes a crap, right?
If your hydraulic line takes a shit, you’ve gotta clamp it or you eventually don’t have breaks. If an electrical wire disconnects, the electrons don’t fall out, the system throws a warning/error and the other breaks keep working.
What if the “brake pedal” (potentiometer) fails? The control unit? What if a rat chews one wire of the 30 coming out of the box that controls this system? Sometimes KISS method is best, and relying on computerized controls to stop 2 tons of metal is just crazy to me. I’m not saying this is wrong or whatever, I’m just sharing my opinion lol. Call me a dinosaur but some things are pretty tried and true and hydrolic brakes are good and reliable! Air brakes can fail if a hose rubs or a tank rots and bursts but when they loose air pressure the brakes lock. These electric systems need a good fail safe
