What is another name for car brakes?

Car brakes are also called braking. Braking can be simply understood as stopping rotation. Braking refers to the action of stopping or slowing down the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. In cars, braking mainly refers to pressing the brake pedal to decelerate or stop the vehicle. The car's brakes primarily rely on the friction between the brake pads and brake discs to generate resistance, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. In previous car models, many used a configuration of front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. However, this method has a drawback: once the vehicle passes through water, a layer of water film is left between the brake pads and the brake drum, which reduces the friction between them and affects braking performance. Therefore, most current car models adopt a configuration of front disc brakes plus rear disc brakes. Since the entire circumference of the disc is exposed, no water droplets remain. When the wheel rotates, any water droplets on the disc will automatically disappear due to centrifugal force.
