    It's no worries if you lose power with electronic breaks! As Audi describes, if you lose power, a check valve means your electronically controlled breaks are now regular old hydraulic brakes, and your foot does all the work again. Phew! 😅 And, electronic brakes have the added benefit of being able to stop with the brake fluid boiling, as they can pressurize the "air" enough to stop the car, versus a brake pedal which just hits the floor, and then you're done. Neat!1!1

    I like the title and the explanation of the basics. There's even more to it: In May 2004, Mercedes recalled 680,000 vehicles to fix their complex brake-by-wire system. Then, in March 2005, 1.3 million cars were recalled, partly because of further unspecified problems with the Sensotronic Brake Control system. If the electrical break failed, they had a classical foot driven hydraulik backup, but only to the front wheels and without the typical vacuum servo assistance. That happening without pre warning resulted in way longer brake distances, subsequently leading to some accidants of almost brand new, well maintained upper class cars. In 2006 they discontinued the system in the E- and S-class limousines.
    Secondly: There were cars, that had no direct hydraulic connection from the break pedal Movement and no feedback at all: The Citroen DS and CX upper class cars had just a foot controlled, spring loaded hydraulic valve for breaking. A single belt driven pump provided hydraulic pressure for the breaks, the clutch, hydropneumatic suspension including the dampeners and for the power steering, that also had no mechanical connection to the steering gear (but a mechanical fallback with extremely wide dead clearance) . Buyers loved the lack of feedback, testers hated it. They sold 2.5 Million from 1955 to 1991, not so bad for upper class cars of legendary complexity and maintanance costs. If the pump failed, there were several storage tanks, that provided full usability for some more minutes. For example after 20 times of breaking, it stopped working and you were left alone with the mechanical handbreak with litereally coin sized brake pads (on the Citroen CX). The system worked surprisingly well, the safety record was flawless.

    I think I remember an F-22 test pilot giving a lecture and mentioning the new fighter jets had the control stick not move at all, it would sense the pressure the pilot exerted on it, and how it was really weird for the human pilots and they had to design sticks that moved.

    • @Captain_Irk
      @Captain_Irk Год назад +7

      I may be incorrect, but I think this was something first tried in the F-16, and since humans are better at knowing the position of our limbs than how much pressure we're exerting with them, they found it was more intuitive to build some movement back in to avoid feedback loops of pilots overcorrecting errors. I wonder if the f-22 control stick was identical!

    Regenerative braking can actually be done so well, that you hardly use the regular brakes at all. In fact, if you press the brake, it will also regen brake first.
    One pedal driving is a common thing in EVs. You are just using the actual brake calipers when you have to brake more in unexpected situations, or you just driving faster, requiring more brake power to stop for the red light.

    • @drazenradosevic7467
      @drazenradosevic7467 3 года назад +14

      Agree to that. Regen braking (especially if you have front motor) can cover 99% of traffic situations. New trend for electric commuter cars is to reduce max speed anyway, so all that means that brake overheating will not be an issue. Ventilated disk will not be necessary, brake calipers and pads can be also made smaller and lighter. Additional bonus is the reduced unsprung weight...
      Of course, with performance cars, it is another cup of coffee :-)

      This is the answer of when electric brakes will be common on cars.

    The Nissan Leaf does this in an admirably simple way: the master cylinder is just set back about an inch and a half from the pedal arm, so the first 2 inches or so of pedal travel are just an input to the computer asking for regen braking, but if you push further, you hit the master cylinder and apply the friction brakes. so even with no power (12V and traction battery disconnected) you still have conventional braking to stop the car. The power steering works the same way, just with an electric pump instead of a belt driven one.

    Trailer brakes are 100% electric, and in 8 years of working on them I’ve yet to see one fail due to an issue not related to lack of maintenance. An argument can be made that they’re a supplemental system, however you’re supposed to slow your truck with the trailer as the primary brake force, not the other way around. They work and they’ve been around in the current form (an electromagnet with a wear surface “shorts” to the drum causing the shoes to engage the drum) for literally ages.

      Those brakes work fine on a trailer because the delay and lack of modulation doesn’t really matter. Basically there’s not really a smooth way to engage them so they delay till slack it taken up and then apply. You can vary how hard they apply, but it isn’t nearly as sensitive as hydraulic brakes.
      And, I’ve seen plenty of electric trailer brakes fail. Wiring gets damaged. They get overheated. They get worn out. Springs fail and everything comes apart inside the drum. I guess you can blame everything on lack of maintenance, but failing is failing.

    Having lost breaks totally to a semi smart system twice I'd much rather keep old hydraulic breaking systems.
    Several reasons:
    One lose power possibly loss brakes.
    Two get a glitch in the smart system it can cause you to crash.
    Three if it's hooked up to the ota updates and not fully secured which nothing 100% is, it's yet another point of failure or vulnerability.
    Four if you lose power brakes may lock up in default like a truck or bus air brakes causing a crash.
    Hydraulic system has one failure point, lack of fluid. Everything else is a wearing part that periodically needs replacing.
    Electronic you add another half dozen potential failure points at minimum.

      A loss of power does not mean loss of braking. The Audi has a check valve that switches back to normal hydraulic braking if there's no power. A glitch is very unlikely. There are a lot of regulations in how electronic systems should be developed for cars that require redundancy and fail safes from simple stuff like using ECC memory to full self checking systems. There are already very proven electronic systems for other things, so brakes are not far off. The points of failure depend on how you count. Here you're counting loss of power, glitches and updates whilst saying the only point of failure for hydraulic is the fluid. You can also say that the master piston is a point of failure, the tube connections, the tubes themselves, the brake caliper piston, etc.
      The fourth point doesn't make sense, if you've watched the video you'd know that that isn't the case here. Also, the braking by default is actually considered a safety feature in trucks and busses because it prevents them from not being able to brake and running off. It's ironic how you are both afraid of an electronic system causing brakes to stop working and seeing brake as default as dangerous.

      I think the benefit is the computer can slow the car with regenerative braking so the brakes last longer and you get a slightly longer range. I’d rather do regenerative braking manually either with a separate lever or just sticking it in reverse while still pushing the throttle like with electric forklifts

      A conputer brakes better than majority of drivers and you can have sensors that automatically activate the brakes if it senses a collision.

      I don't like what you said about regenerative brakes either! It's not driving the motor in reverse! You should really know that electric and hybrid cars still use transmissions, the motor is either on the other side of the transmission, or in the case of hybrids, between the engine and transmission. Regenerative braking works by building a generator into the wheel hub assembly, once you pass a signal current (alternators work very similarly, except they have two sets of coils instead of a steel housing) through the windings it will magnetize the field coils and the rotation of the steel housing will generate electricity as the plates pass over the magnetic coils of the stator. All you need is wiring on the back of the hub to shuttle it back to the battery, and the motor doesn't have to get involved so that it can instead take a break (a brake?) and cool off while you're slowing down.

    There are two things on a car that, for comfort and reliability, should be mechanical and those are the brakes and steering. I think that even the steering locks when the engine isn’t running are a bad idea, had it happen once but the engine fired back up just before a turn.

    • @mihan2d
      @mihan2d 3 года назад +4

      Ok I honestly thought that locking the steering with non running engine is a myth, can't believe it isn't, not only is it dangerous it's incredibly stupid, and you'd think cars are designed by smart people! Then again fully mechanical steering means driving a car is a constant workout, but there are designs of electric or hydraulic steering which keep the car steerable even if the corresponding systems fail.

The locking feature is there for anti theft and for parking on hills so your steering wheel can't center itself when rolling down the hill.

The anti-theft and anti-rolling things work as an explanation but at least then they must have a sensor/electronic check in place that locks the steering ONLY if the car is stationary when the engine shut off, that's so easy to implement yet they didn't bother, putting people in danger...

      This isn't a thing in any of the many cars I've owned. Just don't turn the key to the off position while you're trying to steer. If you have to restart the car while moving don't turn the key off first. You might have to muscle the steering but it doesn't lock.

      Not perfectly true.
      An Eddy current brake combined with a solenoid spring set e-brake would be a fully electric and self contained system that would be every bit as reliable, work at all speeds, and not need any external power beyond what would be generated by the motion of the car itself. It could be computer disengaged when not desired but itself would not need a computer. And because it would be made of solid state components, would not degrade with age like rubber hydrologic hoses can.
