Significantly improved safety through independent wheel control, reduced weight. Braking wastes energy by converting mechanical energy to heat. Brake wear and fail. Big problem in shitholes that don’t annually inspect cars for safety.
Traditional hydraulic systems already have independent wheel control. This is absolutely the opposite of “improved safety”. You’re relying entirely on a complex electrical system that can exhibit a wild myriad of errors that could result in death. And for what? What do you get in exchange?
Braking wastes energy by converting mechanical energy to heat.
There’s nothing in this article to suggest that these do not.

Most of all ones dependent on electronics.
