> If you make the pedal more sensitive (increase the resulting travel per pedal press) you'll make it harder to apply a precise amount of braking power which doesn't sound like a n…

It's an interesting one certainly, it sort of comes down to mechanics at the end of the day. In the event of a catastrophic, complete electrical/engine failure, the driver needs to…

I did not know that term, thanks!

In car braking systems the pedal movement from depressed to pressed corresponds to a very small ( With the brake cylinder fully compressed (as they did for the test), it requires s…
