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 ...

Most advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) are designed to avoid or prevent accidents. But in some cases, a crash is unavoidable. For those situations, many automakers offer post-collision ...

Brembo Sensify removes brake fluid and lets software control braking force at each wheel. The brake pedal becomes an input device rather than a direct mechanical command. Stronger EV regen could make ...

James Kelly didn't grow up knowing he wanted to be a writer, but once he fell into the whacky world of automotive journalism, he hasn't wanted to leave. In college, he found ways to make every paper ...

Conventional car brakes are built with one thing in mind, the purpose of stopping the car. Since this purpose is essential, a great deal of time and resources were invested in the evolution of such ...

Steer-by-wire and shift-by-wire systems, which control steering and transmission through electronics instead of using mechanical and hydraulic means, have become increasingly popular in recent years, ...

GM has a wide swath of safety technologies available across its vehicle portfolio, with many of the systems offering different levels of capability and specific areas of focus. Among these is a ...

An automobile at speed represents a considerable amount of kinetic energy, energy that must be dissipated in order to bring it to a stop. An automobile's brakes are designed to translate this energy ...

There are multiple methods that automakers utilize to make hybrid and battery-electric vehicles (BEVs, more commonly referred to as EVs) as efficient as possible. One is improving their overall ...

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 ...

The company says its fluid-free Sensify system is going into production, and it shouldn't be long before you can stomp the pedals on one of these in a new car. The all-electronic Sensify tech has been ...
