Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the “right to repair” law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

      Conversely…they put the electric parking brakes in the higher trims of American trucks too. So what’s your point?

        My point is the electric parking brakes are not necessary or beneficial in any way. They only serve to make the vehicle more expensive and less reliable.

      That’s not what I said. I said I’ve never owned one. They’re far more common on trucks/vans. I know cars have them. Usually more towards the luxury side of the market but that again comes down to making the interior look more streamlined and fancy.

        I’m not sure what your point was in that statement if not to infer that they don’t exist.
