This new brake design is the first clean sheet design the drag racing industry has seen in years. The pedal's design helps prevent unintended acceleration, Naruse says. Masuyuki Naruse, right, assembles his combined brake and accelerator pedal with welder Koji Yonemura in Tamana, Japan. A great option and am surprised they're not on more bikes. Nissan's Autonomous Emergency Steering System is designed to steer the car to safety when a collision is imminent. Now they announce the release of a revolutionary new standard for safety and precision in Performance Drag Brake kits. (I guess some designs don't have this problem, but most did); Using them puts your hands in a location that doesn't give you much leverage for controlling the bike. It's an extra piece that can break (and leave you unable to brake). Toyota acknowledged design problems with the brakes in its prized Prius, adding to the catalog of safety woes at the Japanese automaker as it reels from massive global recalls involving faulty gas pedals. In some situations, however, the ECU might decide that braking alone wouldn't be enough. Due to extra time needed to design, test, and validate these vehicles, which included two-axle tractors and severe service tractors, the agency allowed four years lead time for these tractors to meet the improved stopping distance requirements. On July 27, 2009, NHTSA published a final rule that amended the Federal motor vehicle safety standard for air brake systems by requiring substantial improvements in stopping distance performance on new truck tractors.
