Such a great feature, both of my last cars had this "presense" breaking. I was never really in a situation where it was critical, but the feeling that the breaks are already in a ready state (touch it slightly and you knew a little bit more will do hard breaking instead of going all the way) when I was touching it felt pretty reassuring and a little magic at the same time.
- HPsquared 4y agoThere's also a more basic version of something like this in older cars, "emergency brake assist", which senses a hard application of the brakes (determining from the nature of how the pedal is pressed) and applies full brakes. Apparently most drivers don't actually apply the brakes fully when emergency braking, so this helps with that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake_assist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake_assist
