What about electronic failures....

I don't mind electronics as a passive system (ABS, EBD). But I don't want to trust something as vital as brakes to chips and wires.
I think I'd feel much safer with a mechanical linkage.

Also in case of a failure of EPS, you can still steer.
In case of Electronic Brake failure, the wall, or a vehicle ahead stops you.
