Steering-by-wire has already existed, now brakes-by-wire have been invented (1 photo)
The upcoming Exlantix ET7 crossover (aka Exeed EX7) will be equipped with an electronic brake system. It lacks conventional hydraulics and is controlled by wires. Chery developed it over three years. 
The system is called EMB, or Electronic Mechanical Braking. It promises millisecond response, precise control, and exceptional reliability. All signals are transmitted entirely electronically; there is no hydraulic or pneumatic system.
Brake-by-wire braking has not yet been used on mass-produced vehicles. Therefore, the reliability and performance of Chery's innovation remains to be seen. The Exlantix ET7 is expected to go on sale in China this quarter.
The Exlantix ET7 will be available as an electric car or a hybrid. The former will be available with a single or dual motor, producing 313 or 480 hp, respectively. Powered by a 97.7 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery, the front-wheel-drive version will have a range of 726 kilometers (448 miles), while the all-wheel-drive version will have a range of 682 kilometers (438 miles) according to the CLTC cycle. The hybrid system is based on a 1.5-liter turbo engine producing 156 hp, and one or two electric motors will also be offered. The battery capacity is just under 40 kWh. The all-electric range will be 203 or 182 kilometers (124 or 112 miles).
