This was part of the issue about ten years ago. Delphi was proposing electric brakes. There was concern of electrical failure and there is quite a bit of history wit hydraulic brakes. The DOT permitted the idea of an electric brake for the rear axle and hydraulic for the front....it never went anywhere.

The technology sounds great, however, it is more complicated and electrical.

How good it will be probably depends on the manufacturer. Just like anti-lock…some companies make good anti-lock systems that enhance the stopping and other make systems that just make driving a little more precarious.
