braking systems
Vehicle deceleration hardware
Braking systems are the components that slow or stop a vehicle.
In cars, this typically includes brake pedals, hydraulic lines, and brake pads that press against rotors or drums.
Modern vehicles often add electronic assists like anti-lock braking systems (ABS) that prevent wheel lockup during hard stops.
