Re: Emergency brake controlled by a computer!!!
Between anti-lock braking that (temporarily) removes breaking pressure and "active collision avoidance" that will apply emergency braking I think you will find that computers are already in control of the brakes in a new car. I've yet to check inside my new Honda HRV to see if the brake pedal does something physical connected to the brakes or it just provides a sensor input. I'm not sure I want to know. At least I have the handbrake to fall back on ..... oh no ...... its electric and "automatic" too.
