➀ The transition to smart brakes involves continuous engineering challenges, especially in ensuring safety and performance. ➁ Advanced braking technologies like fully decoupled brake-by-wire systems are increasingly adopted in electric vehicles, posing new calibration challenges. ➂ The ultimate solution for braking systems is expected to be the Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB), which offers faster response times and potential cost savings, though it faces regulatory and technical hurdles before mass adoption.
