Sure, but said calipers are quote often the same the maonABS brakes use. Hence interdependecies between parking brake and normal brake systems. This dependency cannot be ignored by engineers, and if the choosen trade-off is, for reason ranging from cost over weight to reliability and beyond, an electronic parking brake, well, them that is what it is. And there seems to be something to it, as almost all new passanger cars have those today.
- giantg2 3y ago"And there seems to be something to it, as almost all new passanger cars have those today." That's seems to be a pretty weak argument. You're also forgetting the factor that they can charge extra for more automatic features, or that marketing determined that a significant segment may want it. So it could have little to do with better performance and more to do with positioning and money. Again, what is they interdependence you speak of? The vast majority of cars have the brake systems completely separate - hydraulic with disc/caliper for regular brakes and a cable with shoes/drum for the parking brake. There's really no reason for interdependence, and you really don't see it in the vast majority of new cars.
