I was wondering when the hell someone would make a GiTS comment, since this is so closely related to the anime. Of course, there are a lot of cool things in the amime and TV series that are starting to come to pass: cyberbrains, thermoptics, political situations, etc...
Honestly, half the time you shouldn't be braking hard enough to kill your rotors anyhow. People not knowing how to brake causes many accidents. Driving is a skill, and a skill that is horribly taught, I think. If a deer jumps out in front of you, what do most people do? Brake==which is the worst thing you can do. For most people, braking is the end-all-do-all of driving. How about steering around the deer while maintaining control of your vehicle? Wow, what a concept....
I have taken police driving classes, as well as other not-so-standard driving classes.....and I must say, most people have no accident-avoidance skills at all. They just use that one brake pedal with no idea what to do next...
