This site tries to explain what brake by wire is, what it means for car safety, which cars offer it, and what it means for the automotive industry. In short, brake by wire is a new form of transferring the power of a cars' brake pedal to the cars' brakes. This is now usually done with hydraulic systems, or -for larger vehicles such as trucks and buses- with compressed air. "By wire" means to say that the new system transfers the power electronically instead of mechanical. In the near future, with the further development of hydrogen electrolyzers, and consequently hydrogen powered cars, many new systems such as brake by wire will be introduced into our cars, changing it beyond recognicion within a few years. Some examples of other new technologies are: crash avoidance and vehicle guidance. |
