Amen. Also you never wanted to drive by one of those guys if they were stuck or having other problems without asking if you could help. I did everything from give them a ride to their house to actually pulling a guy who had rolled his truck on a corner back over on its wheels with a chain. (he offered to buy me a beer at the nearest tavern)

Give them a 12 pack of Budlight one time and they’ll drive clear across the county to pull you out

Most of the guys with jacked up trucks will pull you out just to show off.
Though a case of cheap beer never hurts either.

Definitely just a public-facing statement. What the hell even is an electronic brakes? you got a parking pawl which locks up the differential and the handbrake that locks up the wheels.

I'm led to believe the emergency wire brake "boots" and transmission pawl still remain the same even when electronic brake calipers are used.Connected Car

Or did they fail in motion and therefore the driver could not use those to stop?

Yeah but isn't the hand brake still a simple cable system? Independent of the regular braking system.Connected Car

I had an old Ford UPS package car that had some kind of a power shortage in it.
vehicle from rolling backwards down the hill.
fortunately I was able to hit the key fob and get the truck started back up so I was able to stop it
There's a very scary ride
I honestly don't know,

I had a POS Workhorse that would lose all power sometimes when driving down the road. Lost brakes along with everything else.
The truck that I was driving should have never been on the road.
You should seen all the wires that was siliconed into the fuse box It was ridiculous
