A prototype from Stellantis’ DS Automobiles aims for a future in which brake dust and brake-pad replacements might be a thing of the past—looking to regenerative braking as the sole method for braking vehicles. Regenerative braking, which turns EVs’ motor systems into generators when needed to slow the vehicle, is already used to... No brakes! Will the EVs of the future omit friction pads entirely?
