Wow... my brakes are good....
You know, these brakes worked against my current car in two accidents. My father, the previous owner, got slammed from the rear twice when car suddenly stopped ahead of him. In both instance, the car behind him skidded for a while before slamming into his rear bumper... so yeah. Double edged sword.

2. eventually all cars will have this technology and that won't be a problem anymore.
But yeah, we have great brakes, saved my a$$ a bunch of times even in our crazy northern california storms

I'd rather have the ability to save myself, and other cars can try and avoid me.

Any of you ever try the EBD? Try this with your friends (on a nice deserted road)
Put your friend behind you (left rear passenger seat), go up to about 60, and then, let go of the steering wheel, and slam on the brakes.
Then put your friend in the front right passenger seat, and repeat.

"EBD"?
Emergency Bowel Discharge?

Basically, it comes down to you will always brake in a straight line, even if you let go of the steering wheel (as long as you were going straight to begin with and the road isnt at some funky angle)
If you have more weight on the left, the left side is braked more to help you stop evenly. If you have more weight in the rear, the rear brakes are used more to help you stop faster. Win-Win scenerio
