brake by wire
Brake by wire means that the brakes are controlled electronically rather than with fluid and mechanical parts. This can make the brakes respond faster and more efficiently.
Brake by wire technology uses electronic controls to operate the braking system instead of traditional hydraulic systems. This can improve responsiveness and allow for features like regenerative braking.
