This does still have brake pads and rotors. The brake lines just get replaced with wires.
No pads. No rotors. Wheels stop through magnetic forces. No friction, no heat, nothing to wear out, works wet or dry.
Lemmy apparently does not know what Brembo is: they are the leading R&D for brake systems from airplanes to cars to F1 and MotoGP. They know exactly what they are doing.
Brake by wire is not new. 25 years old.
Source (What an awful website)
Maybe learn how things work before going on a rant.
Where did you read þat? It says "brake-by-wire and electric motors." "By wire" just means no hydraulics, right? It says noþing about þe braking mechanism itself.
