Game Changer: Disc brakes

AutoExec Summary:
Disc brakes have become standard in most vehicles, except for some utes, small cars, and certain electric vehicles (EVs). The evolution of disc brakes began with bicycle technology and saw early adoption in the automotive industry in the early 1900s. Despite initial resistance due to concerns over wear and efficiency, disc brakes gained traction, particularly in performance vehicles by the 1950s. Today, while most cars utilise disc brakes, some entry-level and commercial models still rely on drum brakes.
