Do Automatic Transmission Cars Have a Handbrake?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars do have a handbrake, but it typically uses an electronic parking brake. Types of Braking Systems: Parking brakes come in different types. In addition to mechanical systems operated by hand or foot, high-end vehicles are increasingly adopting electronically controlled parking systems, commonly known as electronic handbrakes. Working Principle: An electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
