I read about it here: https://insideevs.com/news/795072/brembo-sensify-new-braking... Since this is brake-by-wire I wonder what the failure paths are.

There is something elegant about a pure hydraulic system that when all power is gone it still connects my brake lever to a brake caliper - i like the mostly fail safe implications of that design. As an EE, an MCU that decides to not follow its input 100% of the time - when say a wire gets corroded, shorter or disconnected gives me pause when it comes to reliably halting my multi ton machine at speed.
