Computer-controlled brakes are a questionable idea vs. proper driver training in the first place.



Throw in a computer with minimally-hardened or in some cases TOTALLY unsecured access to the outside world like we're seeing these days and you end up with people laughing as you stand on the brake pedal while they tell your car not to brake using a radio signal, and it fails to apply the brakes.*

Leave braking to the human! There is only one human error that can occur when it comes to braking: you don't press the pedal!
