The Future of Brake Technology December 27, 2021 by akellers (https://amigomga.org/author/akellers/) (Edit) (https://amigomga.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=130&action=edit)

Every year there are technical experts in every field working to make driving safer for everyone. While many people are focused on the latest inventions, others look to perfect what already exists. Automakers are currently working on new ways to make braking and driving safer than ever. High-quality brake systems are one essential component of preventing accidents. It doesn’t do a vehicle any good to automatically detect a potential accident when the brakes cannot prevent it from happening. Read further to get a look at the future of brake technology

(https://www.brakebywire.com/future.html). Current Braking Systems Currently, there are three main types of braking systems. The first is called brake-by-wire, where there is an electronic system (wires) in control of the braking system. This is instead of having a physical connection working the brakes. Next, there’s automatic emergency braking. Automatic emergency braking systems automatically detect impact and apply the brakes to prevent further damage. Ideally, this system will help accidents from becoming worse. Finally, there’s post-crash braking. According to Henry Scott of Ford (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15389588.2018.1454594), up to twenty percent of all accidents are followed by a second collision. That’s where post-crash brakes come into play. They are designed to help prevent a secondary accident from occurring. New Braking Systems In response to the increased need for safety, many car manufacturers are working on their own solutions to braking systems. For example, Siemens is working on what they’re calling a wedge brake (https://aviondemand.com/insider/the-future-of-brake-technology/). Their wedge brake reportedly has a shorter stopping distance than traditional brakes. Brembo is another company looking to revolutionize the braking system (https://www.wardsauto.com/industry-news/brembo-looks-

future-brake-technology). Brembo’s latest initiative looks to make driving both safer and greener, and that includes their brake systems. They are currently working with AI to develop a more innovative way of autonomous braking, which can take weather conditions into account, among other things. Different Uses for Braking Systems Believe it or not, braking systems are being deployed beyond their most obvious uses (https://www.repairsmith.com/i/blog/newbraking-systems-stop-crashes-save-lives/). Manufacturers are looking to use braking systems to help cars stay in their lanes, maintain a better grip on slippery roads, and even the ability to brace for a detected and impending collision.
