4 Car Safety Features That Aren't Safe...

Funny how when you have a dashboard with 3 LCD screens at full blast brightness you cant see anything😂 its almost like you walked outside at night after being in a bright room 🤔🤷‍♂

Let Darwin do his job

@@redlight3932 Yeah but can Darwin please not put me in the crossfire

Sitting high isn't the problem, huge hoods are. Proper vans have high positions with great visibility.

@@ondralavicka3455design of US-spec mirrors are also a huge problem. All around the world people would get aspherical mirrors so that there is no blind spot while changing lanes. US-spec however, is all flat.

@@M3Froggy that's absolutely retarded and something I haven't thought about, given the fact that I don't live in North america. Although it is something I complained about, as a friend of mine has a 2nd gen Grand Cherokee and you can't see out of that. The blind spot is about two three cars in the lane next to me. TBF even the 2nd gen fabia (think VW golf) has a blind spot, about one car and it's in the next lane over. When a car leaves the mirror in the lane next to me, it enters my peripheral vision.

💀💀💀

💀dont tell me they can’t even pedal next

@@Mayank_Maximum wouldn’t be surprised!!! It’s unbelievable how “ behind “ people are. The people we all drive next to everyday, have no idea how to operate the vehicle they’re in

I even heard that there have been several cases of people attempting to steal manuals and then leaving them because they don't know how to drive manual.

@@ThatSpecificIndividual 100%

I only know this for VWs, but on their cars you can hold the button and the car will apply all brakes possible. Meaning that the ABS-Pump will apply all four wheel brakes and the Electronic Parking brakes will also be applied. This technically means, that they're more redundant than a standard E-Brake. That being said, I'm definitely still in favor of standard E-Brakes!

@@janniss6401 As an owner of 2 VW Passats (one with stupid button brake and one with regular one) I can only attest to the shitty ebrakes constantly breaking or having random minor malfunctions while also being extremely hard to properly fix once they do actually break

​@@domaxltvwhat is easier to fix, a cable or an complicated eletronic system? What will be more profitable to fix in autorized mechanics?

Electric Boogaloo

the reason we have ebrakes is for Auto Hold which is used in traffic where it automatically engages the handbrake when you stop. this alleviates you from the stress of keeping your foot on the brake,simples press on the accelerator and youre off again.

Same here, I hate how tall the cars are these days. Can’t even see two cars ahead in my little Sprinter because there’s a lifted F450 in front of me.

Honestly we need to less relient on Cars and have better Public Transportation

@@maas1208 very much so agree, but in the meantime lets bring the size of vehicles down

Make a car arms race of car needing to get bigger making things worst soem suv are the soze of tanks

The fact that my 3 inch lifted Cherokee is shorter than every new pickup truck at stock height is crazy

Its in an indicator of physics working as predicted. More mass and higher speeds = higher possibility of death in a crash

And cars being more and more unreliable.. 😵‍💫

I wanna point out that carmakers still add them mainly because if you don't have them, then the implication in the average person's mind is that the car is less safe, and it's nearly impossible to market something that is dangerous.

@@user-lq5nh1hm1xcars are not less reliable what are you talking about. Bro had to be born within the past ten years.

@@Lordofthedawgs I worked in auto shops for 4 years before getting into the gun industry, and you would not believe the amount of things that go wrong with modern cars for absolutely no reason. When I worked at dealership shops, I spent most of my time doing relearns on the various electronic systems because they just shit themselves for no apparent reason. Not a single mechanic I know drives a car made newer than 2010. Most settle on something from the late 90s because there's a pretty strong consensus that car technology made the most sense about that time. ABS, power steering, CD players, AWD, things like that

Hope you get that Zo6 soon

Yo love the vids

Ayooo the biggest vette fanboy is here. Hope you get that vette soon.

Had the Lorry I was driving do that on me for a car that had entered the slip road to leave the motorway, I always turn this stuff unless I'm feeling really tired.

​@@gravemind6536 I went to test drive the '16 Civic when it first came out. Sales Rep came with me for some reason. It nearly threw me to the wolves as I entered the highway (needed due to dealer location, bad road design) which was 55 mph zone with traffic doing 65 coming from behind me on a blindish for them peak. The car SLAMMED the brakes. The auto system saw a shadow. Nearly got creamed in the back. It wouldn't respond to any attempts at manual control for a good heart attack period before I finally got it to let me speed up (there was no shoulder anyways). Sales Rep spent the rest of the rest drive explaining how that was totally fine and not a problem. I walked. After it became clear I wasn't staying another rep I had been talking to (I had interviewed at that location not long prior) told me that it happens like every week in the evening with the newer safety system cars.

Yep its a nightmare just to change climate settings whilst driving in those vehicles.

absolutely! In my previous car, with driving experience I had memorised every basic function and it's buttons. There was not a need to take my eyes off the road even for a second. Be it climate controls, radio, bluetooth. In the new car, half of this is in a touchscreen tablet and rest are in very sleek buttons which cannot be memorised. You can't even differentiate b/w them if you're running your finger across them without looking... useless.

There's a difference between simplicity and minimalism. Burying everything in a single touchscreen is minimalist, not simple. Minimalism is when you reduce the amount of tools needed to do a job, while simplicity is where you reduce the number of _steps._ Having one multi-purpose tool in the form a screen means you have to take multiple steps in order to reconfigure that tool to do the job. It adds steps, which destroys simplicity.

This is why I love Mazda. Physical tactile buttons for most features you'd need while driving. The infotainment screen is high on the dashboard where you can see it without taking yours eyes off the road, while the infotainment controls are a tactile dial on the center console that you don't have to look at to operate.

true, idk why the hell manufacturers decided to put everything in a tablet instead of keeping physical dials. in my car, it has a touch screen where i can control to AC but i also have physical buttons so i never actually have to take my eyes off the road

True, even an space bar as a parking brake would be better than that💀

You can't pull it and it will just jam on the brakes it will hardly feel different to the normal brakes.

Now that it would be really sad

Nah it will be "activate drift mode" button

​@Andrew21369420 fr

I wonder what the 'rest of the story' is. I have the same feature on my Honda Pilot - and if you are steering out of the lane your control input overrides the lane keeping input. I get a slight jerk (the same as I would get if I were straying out of the lane) but it isn't enough to override your steering. If lane keeping assist were that aggressive then it would be impossible to make a lane change without turning your turn signals on first. In fact, per the manual what the author of the video claims is pretty much impossible. The system will not activate under a list of conditions. One of them is: "The vehicle is not accelerating or braking, and the steering wheel is not being turned."

I had a rental Kia Soul that tried to turn me into a Jersey Barrier. It did not recognize the orange lane markings in a construction zone and attempted to warn me I was leaving the lane. There was not much space left over.

​@@colincampbell767yeah, dude is either lying or his "friends" weren't paying attention and are blaming the lane keeping after the fact

​@@andrewj9064 He also didn't research the brake button. Those make hill hold assist possible. No normal person uses the handbrake as an emergency brake either.

@@justinvzu01 yeah the handbrake simply locks up the back wheels. There are very few situations we're that is useful when moving

Nah that Toyotas turning into a beer can compared to a new truck it's math man a 2800 lb truck WILL be destroyed when it meets a vehicle bigger than it

@@redlight3932 The new trucks are made with cost cutting. They don't have box steel frames and weighting doesn't mean its strong. The Interiors are all cost cutting plastic. And also watch the Top Gear episode on the hilux they tried to destroy. I would want to see a new truck going through that treatment and see if it runs let alone survive.

Ok, but have you considered running away from the bear? ​@redlight3932

well the CAFE standards are what resulted in the giant truck trend to start with. In fact, because of this, and people generally wanting larger vehicles, the demand for full size sedans dropped off significantly. We need to bring back the land yachts, they are the safest option with decent fuel economy.

Not really, it just will be safer for everyone else

You're rich buy a tank or something

@@redlight3932 cybertruck…

@@redlight3932 Not everyone wants to drive round in a giant bloated tank that handles like shit.

@@gravemind6536 if I could, I would lol

The amount of times I've been nearly run off the road in my 5 series (pretty large station wagon) by one of those jacked up yank tanks is insane. I had someone in a lifted Silverado come feet within running onto my hood as I was executing a legal protected arrow u-turn. He didn't hit the brakes until I honked my horn

The problem is that people trust what should not be trusted, like computers, an comercial airplane have 4 redundant eletronic sistems in case of failure and an extra system in case all 4 fail but people trust their lives in a single eletronic system on a car.

@@C0lon0And its only getting worse. I read an article somewhere that the 2025 Camry had steer by wire, as in no physical connection between the steering wheel and tires. So what happens with lane keep assist? Can it completely overrule your input when your trying to miss that ladder in the road? Talk about scary!

They’re also the reasons I still drive a 1983 Trueno.

yeah but you still have mandatory ABS etc. which also isn't safe in spins and on loose surfaces

@@bn880 This is true, mostly standard fair since the late 90's and stability control being standard fair past 2011. My snow vehicle this past winter was a rusty 1979 Jeep Wagoneer, total tank in the snow, and I could stop without my brakes being released by a computer.

But man is it effective. Come with a problem that no one has ever had and sell the solution.

@@internetfrnd6496 Creating a problem and then selling a solution is a classic indeed. Can't do a hill-start with a stupid electronic hand brake? Well then you will sure like relying on our broken and slow hill-start assist system!!! Good Lord...

Same story with touch-screening everything. They call it premium, but it's actually cutting corners.

@@internetfrnd6496 Apple ever since the start the whole plan was make thing take then make then for removed thing add more thing remove thing fix gone thing to then make more thing

I hate the idea of the handbrake going away. However, I admit it is pretty nice on my minivan. If I forget to set it, or put the vehicle in park when I shut it down, the car puts itself into park and sets the brake on its own. That's pretty cool. I do miss the handle, but I've yet to drive a minivan with a parking brake handle. They've all had the extra pedal.

Tbf apparently Mercedes had to do a lot to be able to keep that

Funny you should mention that I moved my Grandmas car for her once and she was suprised I put the parking brake on its one of the cable ones where you pull the lever Mercedes C class she said she never puts it on and I told she should because its very common for an automatic to fail for parking brakes being below efficency requirements on MOT tests because of lack of use I checked and her car had failed for it once as do many autos. Even if I had an automatic though I find the way it rocks when in park too unsettling so I would always use the parking brake anyway.

@@gravemind6536 yeah I'm a Mercedes mechanic myself so I'm quite familiar with these things on a variety of models

I don't understand that, use it while going in park as well

I never use the new electronic park brake. I miss the old park/emergency brake.

@@frankdeboer1347 I'm not even talking purely electronic parking brakes, whenever I get in a customer car that doesn't have one that automatically engages when you park your car there's a 99% chance the parking brake isn't on. Doesn't matter if it's a lever, a pedal or a button most people just don't use it when it doesn't automatically engage

oh my god. the world's a movie, stooge.

reminds me of a old Matpat video talking about how OG Watch Dogs hacks can technically be done a Phone could hack your car so uhhh

There isn’t a driving system that does that. People are exaggerating and relying on it too much.

Those systems are meant for bad drivers who aren't paying attention. If you are alert and you fight it, it gives up and lets you drive (kinda like hitting the brake on cruise control) I'm an engineer and I adore automation, but I don't know why they even attempt that with the possible liability.

Better hope those fancy headlights don't break. Do the auto wipers really know just when to wipe to your liking? Can you adjust their sensitivity?

@@nthgth The headlights are actually extremely good. Something interesting about VWs is that I've never had a bulb burn out on mine. I'm still running the factory ones almost 9 years later. The headlights are all sealed and use actual high quality gears, so I'm pretty confident they won't break. As for the wipers, there's a little 4-position switch on top of the wiper stalk that you can move left or right to adjust the sensitivity (low to high). If you don't want them to wipe at all, you can just move the stalk back to its standby position like in any other car. It's the perfect mix of modern-car smarts and "old-car analog". Manual parking brake, powered steering that you can still feel the road through, etc etc. The sheet metal is THICK too. It's not weak like in Subarus, where you can push the roof in and out. It's solid through and through.

"It can haul and tow so much, you are just mad because you can't afford it. I can tow a yacht." Proceeds to never tow or haul anything to the day he sells it, can't even fit a plywood board in bed because the bed is too short and drives 10lb of groceries once a week.

Oh wow a man who believes in freedom. Can you give me a protected bike lane so I can have the freedom to bike to and from work everyday to save on gas?

@@zacharymarentette5269 no, you commie

They don't even have that much trunk or bed space to begin with. On average those SUVs and pickups can fit less stuff than older sedans and wagons, damn insane.

​@@burneracc2567my uncles mazda b2200 from the 80s has a bigger trunk space than a fucking brand new f150

Be careful with disablind stuff like that permenantly it could invalidate your insurance but yeah I get why you would do it I hate that stuff thankfully my hasn't got it Its a 2016 Toyota Auris or Scion IM for Americans. The lorries I drive however all have lane assist AEBS etc and I turn them off every day.

the first car i ever drove was a 2018 Subaru Outback That fucking thing had so many warning chimes and messages that it was almost impossible to pay attention to the road Merging? Lane departure Someone in your blind spot? Let’s make it harder to focus on anything else At a stop sign? the car in front of you moved 0.1 ms ago and you still haven’t taken your foot off the break, time to play some god-awful dog whistle ping that makes your ears bleed All those safety features were distracting as shit, and to this day i refuse to drive a car with so much as lane departure the only ‘modern’ safety feature i tolerate is a back up camera, everything else can shit a dolphin

I drove a pickup a few years and switched back to sports car when I realized I use it to carry myself and a small bag literally 99% of the time (or maybe add my kid and his small bag). That and hearing the poor engine push its fat ass up hills hurt me inside.

"but I want a simple car that doesn't try to kill me" "WELL THAT'S TOO DAMN BAD"

Im pretty sure that, to a degree, all cars being manual will reduce cars crashes, given the fact, that forces you to being focus on your driving

That's total cap. You can in fact pull the electronic e-brake while driving. It's going to use information from the ABS/ESP module to avoid that the wheels lock up. You just need to pull the lever for multiple seconds. I tried it on my car and It works. If you have a Mercedes long press on the P button, if it's a normal (P) Button just pull and hold for multiple seconds and it will apply it. I've done it out of curiousity on an empty road and it applied the E-brake as long as I pulled on the (P) button. That's what you get when people don't read their owner's manual. If you guys would read it you would know about it. It's mentionned in mine.

@@RaaaphaelThat’s in Mercedes, how many other car manufacturers do you think would include that?, the overwhelming majority don’t do that, all of the cars I’ve driven with electronic parking brakes don’t do that.

​@@Gengargamer2_Mazdas e brakes do so as well

@@Stand_Tall actually that is true, I did drive a cx5 and it did have that, forgot about that.

@@Gengargamer2_ My Citroën does it too!

@claytonj2024 I'm thinking of one on a datsun 720.

​@claytonj2024you could even go Jag style and have it really close to the transmission tunnel, alternatively you have something like on the lotus Europa where it's still hand-operated but instead something you pull towards yourself and twist to disengage

I deeply miss column shifters, My first car had a bench up front

@claytonj2024 I would honestly love a 2024 with a column shift and a bench seat up front so 6 people can sit in the sedan. Whose idea was it to get rid of the bench upfront ?

@claytonj2024 the 2001 ford Taurus I had, had the center console with cup holders and storage, but it folded up to turn into the back rest for the middle seat. Best of both worlds, Bring it back ! I think early 2000s Toyota avalons were the same

80 - 90% of a vehicle's braking force is on the front brakes, making it very easy to overload the front tires while braking. Only about 75% of a vehicle's weight is shifted onto the front tires while braking, so there's a good amount of additional braking that can still be done.

@@joshjlmgproductions3313 stuff like all of this is why I want to add every grip mod I can to my Car so I can nail every shift without any jack or shit

@@joshjlmgproductions3313 What do you mean by additional braking? The tires are *always* the weak points when it comes to traction. You can't make a car stop any faster by pulling the e-brake, you'll just risk locking up your wheels and possibly spin out of control. Best case is you come to s controlled stop but now with a flat spot on your tires from all the skidding.

@@TheSeanUhTron The rear brakes aren't doing much during braking, so by pulling the parking brake, you're making them do more.

@@joshjlmgproductions3313 No, you will not be able to apply more braking force to the rear brakes than what the power braking system can do. Pulling the handbrake will not help slow down your car, and will in fact make your car more unstable because it bypasses ABS and ESC and risks locking up the rear wheels. When you jam the brake pedal into the floor, you're getting 100% of the car's braking potential. You're not outsmarting the car designers by pulling the e-brake to try to get some hidden braking power. If you want to stop faster, get better tires.

Not to mention it's not even true. Have fun in that rollover!

Always figured they're trying to kill us with that stuff I never have it on either but most the cars im in are old anyway

I made sure when getting my current car to get it for the things it didn't have, it has a handbrake, 6 speed manual gearbox, 4 cyclinder engine with timing chain rather than these little 3 cyclinders with wet belts etc I made sure it had no assists of any kind besides standard ABS and ESP. 2016 Toyota Auris or Scion IM for you Americans and its been flawlessly reliable and nice peaceful drive no chimes no annoying assist features etc. Only annoyance is having to turn off stop start every time I start the engine, when its 10 years old and out of warranty I plan on doing a simple stage 1 remap and getting the stop start removed in the process though.

"lame assist" Love it

I call it collusion improved assistance

I'll be fucking dmaned if i ever buy a car newer than 2004

Yep it mad how much people are spending on these things too.

They don't just look stupid. They are stupid. All they care about is doing what everyone else is doing.

I can't wait for that trend to die out, it may take one, it may take five years, it may take a decade but the trend will die out.

I live in India and Ford has re-entered the market here, so I was in a parking lot and I saw a new Ford pickup IRL, that was the first time I felt true fear seeing a car, like I knew how big those cars are but never got an IRL scale to truly understand it

​@@flyingproofficialbro that ford F650 is humungus like straight out of fiction, how can someone drive something like that?

I live in the UK and drive cab over Artic lorries, they have better visibility than a pickup they have a forward blindspot mirror and two nearside blindspot mirrors and one offside blindspot mirror if you do your checks properly you can see a cat sat directly in front of your lorry or on the nearside too you would miss one sat on the offside though but still, the visibility is far better than any pick up.

Lol I was actually a tank crewman in my younger days. In a tank you can roll the hatch open and stick out the top for great visibility. We only closed up if we were shot at, then watch out we're like Karen in her escalade 😂

And you're right you can't beat an ABS system and you can't brake individual wheels like ESP can. You can see the road ahead and you can check your mirrors and blindspots you don't need AEBS or lane assist they're just annoying.

@@gravemind6536 you are my man 🫡 Greetings from Germany

Yeah we only have the 12x6 license plates. There are different designs and vanity plates b7t the shape stays the same

We are standardized so unfortunately we don't but that doesn't mean you have to remove the old plate you can just put the new one over which alot of German car lovers do

@@redlight3932 bmw fanboys like to get a euro trunk with a euro plate and then put their American plate over it..

American individuals cannot import foreign vehicles unless the vehicle is 25 years old. So we don't really see many real import cars in America

Idk, you’d think so but you also need to pay once a year for license plate tabs, and the number of people I see driving with tabs from 3+ years ago is baffiling You can probably go around with no license plate tbh lol this sounds like a bad joke but I can see my neighbors car parked on the street right now with no plate. He’s def had that for longer than a 21 day permit would allow no plate

And the automatically closing trunk can cut your fingers clean off.

Wasn’t that the same idiot who said it was his fault and that he still loves the truck?

I'm in Texas and you are SO right with that last one especially! I swear, takes 30 seconds from a green light before you, maybe 15 cars back, even starts to move, and light turns red by time 10 get thru. In worse intersections, you could be stuck for 3-4 light cycles just wasting gas and making it hotter.

The slow merge is so annoying. On-ramps are for getting up to speed.

Could be both.

You sound like you walk in the road and flip off cars when they honk

It's not. I drove a Ridgeline as a loaner for 2 weeks. It's a little stronger than the system in my GMC, but still very easy to override. It does have a lane departure mitigation that "shakes" your wheel, though. At least in the 2022 Ridgeline I was borrowing, both systems could be turned off and did not come back on on start up.

Here in Brazil people get killed more on sidewalks than walking in the middle of a highway

Not to argue, but Germany also has a lot lower population, and therefor a lot fewer cars as well. Per 100000 inhibitants is a better statistic (you can find it on Wikipedia) where the US sits at 12.9, while Germany is at 3.7

Also fair to consider u.s pedestrian infrastructure is lacking and often encourage pedestrians to preform dangerous actions just to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. Numerous occasions where I've tried crossing a 5 lane 4-way and the beg button just doesn't work... Had to wait for people to be nice and let me cross

big can be much safer when any of the companies actually factor in the issues like put those lane sensors in front of the car along with cameras to scan for walkers an then try its dam hardest to stop you but nah they just give us a huge tablet instead

Government “lets” them? More like the government requires them. EPA and CAFE standards are one of the biggest reasons the auto industry is the way it is. Yes consumers do have a play, but that’s only a piece of puzzle.

I agree with most of what you are saying but, wouldn‘t a sloped hood improve visibility of close by things, children for example?

Chunky pillars are for occupant safety and have no regard for those outside the vehicles the worst possible place for your head to hit on a car should be hit by one is the A pillar its pretty much the strongest part of a car its designed to absorb high speed accidents and hold the shape of the cabin. You talk about the blunt shape hood you can see perfectly and I take your point however its a double edged sword landing on that hood would be far more painful than one of the modern sloped hoods with no sharp edges. I miss my first car as the visibility was insane but the car I have no is so much safer for me and others my current car is harder to park as you can't see where either end of the car ends but its easy enough for someone like me in my first car I could to within 1ft of everything easily no sensors or cameras just brilliant visibility.

The chunky pillars are to prevent the roof from collapsing in the event of a rollover

@@Doorbell-bf9vl If the hood is long and shot, you will be able to see any children and how close you are to them.

If the kids are close enough to your vehicle such that you are concerned about the blindspot caused by the hood, you have not been thinking clear enough nor looking at your surroundings so you're aware of what's going on around you.

Same. This is the stuff of nightmares. One of the scariest motorbike situations I've been in was going downhill, in the dark, in the rain, on a wriggly country road. I was taking it slow, but I had an SUV tailgating me, headlights completely dazzling me and making it harder to see. More than once thought I was going to die - had I needed to swerve or emergency brake for whatever reason (e.g. animal or tree branch), I would have been run over.

If the only thing you “haul” is groceries, then get a minivan.

@@leeroykelly781 i love minivans. very comfortable to drive, great in all weather and very multi purpose.

@@clownavenger0 Yep they went out of fashion completely very popular in the UK too and then in early 10s everyone started shifting to these SUVs because they're cooler to look at and not ugly and they're more comfy luxurious and stylish etc. I think people have completely forgot the purpose of non performance cars and that is that they should function comfortably, efficently and minimal cost. In the UK it was Vauxhall Zafiras, VW Tourans and Ford Galaxies until these bloated monster SUVs came along.

​@@clownavenger0 I'd personally like a station wagon the most.

The closest thing to an SUV I'd buy is a Subaru Outback

The cultists will claim fsd is actually really good and will finally be here next year trust me bro it will totally happen

I hate having to press it DEEP to take the brakes off lol

I know from experience it's *almost* prohibitively difficult to drift a Camry equipped with a foot-operated parking brake, especially since you have to re-press it _harder_ to disengage it. Lol. It could be easier to access there, but it's possible to design an interior where it's a normal hand brake and it's super easy to access, so that's a fail on whatever designer needed to use the foot-type in order to make their interior work 🤷🏻‍♂️

image a company just sending robots all over to do this as a big iligel prank

no

Mandatory driving courses to filter out the unworthy, front and rear cameras, S tier public transportation, and when your renew your license every 4 years you need to pass a difficult exam and your score influences your insurance rates.

@@ILovePancakes24 just move to china already

EXACTLY

@@HDReMaster they don't have these rules and they would make the roads safer and your commute would take half as long and the speed limits could probably be doubled because we would have only competent drivers with quality well maintained vehicles.

Ironically, higher beltlines are mandated in order to protect us from big, dangerous SUVs and pickups. But those same high beltlines reduce visibility, making it harder to avoid an impending collision.

Same. Good ol salt belt north, brake line rusted between my truck's gas tank and frame and pow, blew the line one day! Foot just suddenly sunk to the floor! Thank god for that cable actuated E-brake!

I drive Lorries with the system it doesn't understand that there are loads of circumstances where you have to veer onto the other side of the road for example a rouge tree branch sticking out that could rip your wing mirror off a dip or pothole that you don't want to hit, it also hates it when you use hatched markings to your advantage to go past parked vehicles or just otherwise give yourself breathing room.

Also in that car my lane keep assist stay off but not the forward collision warning

Most of them actually do but it just activates the hydraulic brakes would be no good in an emergency where brake failure has occured.

Bladed rides bikes makes perfect Sense

It's also extremely unlikely to lose your entire foot brake, because we've had redundant brake design for decades. If you pop a brake line, you'll notice it but you'll still be able to brake with half of your wheels.

Yeah and ABS will work on all 4 wheels... but should something fail... it's nice to have a backup, even if the backup has limited capacity. I sometimes have to drive a truck with tons of weight loaded onto it... but the hydraulic brakes have a leak in the master cylinder, so it only has a brief period of braking before you have to pump the pedal. Luckily, the engine braking on an old manual truck is absolutely insane and has as much stopping power as most cars do... I know because someone brake checked me down to a near stop and I was able to stop the truck with the engine and only used the brakes for the last little bit as the engine began to idle. So for cars that are not yours where you do not know the condition of the car, it is nice to have a hand brake just in case... plus, unlike an e brake pedal (which I hate), a lever can be pulled by hand instead of by foot and also by the passenger if say the driver passes out. Redundancy is nice when there is essentially no cost to it. In general, you should not use the e brake lever other than for parking. But, it is much nicer than a 4th foot pedal (or 3rd pedal in an automatic) which you can see is up and will work should something go horribly wrong in the hydraulic system. People do not maintain their cars, they treat them like disposable appliances and this causes lots of premature failures, thankfully, most of these are the engine or transmission dying rather than the brakes failing or a wheel falling off... though those do happen. But having another redundancy that doubles as a parking brake is amazing. They call it the emergency brake because it should only be used as a last resort when all else fails... frankly, I think in a manual car, the engine braking might be more powerful than the e brake if you drive something with more engine displacement and lower gears than my personal boring car... but manuals are hard to find and I'd rather have a system that is functions differently so that I have a backup... but it's *just* a backup and a parking brake. Also, bold of you to assume everyone has ABS, almost every car I drive that I don't personally own has either faulty ABS which actively screws things up, an old ABS which is not even as good as a human alone, an ABS which has silently failed, or no ABS (I think, it doesn't have an ABS light on but there is no ABS so either the brake master cylinder is that leaky or it never had ABS). Personally, everything I own, vehicle or otherwise is well maintained, but this is not the case for most people. I've seen some pretty scary stuff... and I'm not even a mechanic... those mechanics I talk with... they have some horror stories.

that's a very stupid cause for the first one, if someone drives without realising they have the e brake on, they shouldn't even be driving in the first place

Most of these features are engineered into vehicles BECAUSE human drivers are regressive. Always on the phone, know nothing about the technicalities of their vehicles, and (sorry to say) just more stupid than ever before. Manufacturers and insurance companies see their customers as absolute liabilities now, leading to the modern features that cars now have.

His point was is that it resets every time you turn the car off.
