Why is the Electronic Parking Brake More Convenient?
2 Answers
Electronic parking brakes are more convenient because they use a motor to directly drive the parking brake. Here is a detailed introduction to electronic parking brakes: Working Principle: The electronic parking brake 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 control method has evolved from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Function: The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates the temporary braking during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control. The electronic parking brake extends from the basic parking function to the automatic parking function AUTO-HOLD. The application of AUTO-HOLD automatic parking technology eliminates the need for drivers to maintain prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. When the automatic electronic parking brake is activated, it prevents unnecessary vehicle sliding.
I've driven quite a few cars, and the electronic parking brake is indeed much more convenient. When parking or waiting at a red light, just a light press of the button is enough, saving a lot of effort compared to the old-fashioned handbrake that requires pulling a lever. It's especially great on steep slopes with its automatic release function—no rolling back when starting, which improves safety. The space design is also user-friendly, taking up less room so I can fit more cup holders or my phone, keeping the interior tidier. During daily commutes, combined with the auto-hold function, it automatically keeps the car stationary when stopped, making driving even easier. Maintenance is simpler too, with fewer mechanical parts to wear out and lower failure rates. Overall, it's convenient and smart, perfectly suited for busy city life.
