It's an interesting one certainly, it sort of comes down to mechanics at the end of the day. In the event of a catastrophic, complete electrical/engine failure, the driver needs to be able to apply enough braking force…
In car braking systems the pedal movement from depressed to pressed corresponds to a very small (<1mm) pad movement. The pad is just touching when the brake when the pedal is not pressed, and pressing the pedal forces…
Barnes Wallis' Tallboy[1] was a 5 ton bomb designed to be dropped from a high altitude and penetrate deep underground. Upon detonation at the correct depth it could create a large crater, up to 100ft deep and 80ft…
