  • @etmax1 They don't show here the failure situation or how it is managed so are you just guessing? On the other side it is clearly shown that it needs power only to toggle the caliper not to keep it in either open or close position (yellow line graph). I agree that it seems necessary to power it in order to have brakes but I suspect that the first movement of opening in the sequence is not there only for show, but I cannot say what is used for.

    this idea was from merc true enough . but it wasn't successful . So i think this is VW so they improve it

  • nifty but too many parts to break, simpler the better

  • Good Idea, probably better than actual, but unsafe.

  • I design electronic systems for a living. I see some issues for this in cars.If the system blows a fuse you've got no brakes, not even a hand brake. It looks like it needs power all the time to maintain braking too, which means if you left your car on a steep hill for a month it would roll down the hill when the batteries run flat. ABS is designed to fail in a "do nothing state" so you still have normal brakes. This needs to fail in a brakes applied state which means coming to a sudden stop!!

  • you can put on a systems that turns the brakes heat into battery juice

  • @ander3671 if the car runs out of battery wont start... so dont worry if that happen with this system

  • as brakes if the car runs out of battery? and have a serious problem of

    chain?

  • this is technology from mercedes: sensotronic brake control , year 2002

  • too bad Siemens VDO doesn't exist anymore, the company was sold to continental and continental already have their EMB system but works in a different way. VOD system uses wedge and continental's system uses spindle. Now continental has to make a really tough decision and choose between the two system and obviously cost and effectiveness are the most important factors. About ABS, ESP ...etc they're all gonna work but in a different way
