When a Formula 1 racing driver hits the brakes, he isn’t applying actual pressure to the master cylinder controlling the rear brakes. Instead, he’s sending a signal for the computer to interpret, and ...

Brake-by-wire systems are becoming more common thanks to their compact packaging and ability to manage electrified cars’ regenerative braking systems. That doesn’t mean everyone is necessarily ...

The brake-by-wire technology used in the automotive industry enables the control of brakes through electrical means. It can either complement traditional service brakes or can be used as a standalone ...

The technology, known as hydraulic brake-by-wire, removes the mechanical link between the brake system and the brake pedal. The system works by forcing the brake pads against the rotating brake disc ...

A new advance could revive brake-by-wire technology, which has been stalled since global automakers decided not to adopt 42-volt electrical systems. Siemens VDO is developing a system that addresses a ...

Brake-by-wire systems are becoming increasingly common for a variety of reasons. These systems are particularly useful in hybrids and EVs, where they allow the brake pedal to control both regenerative ...
