it's all fine and well that they have the computers down to 99.whatever percent, but what about the human element? How many of you know that you would always remember to change the batteries?

The first thought that entered my mind when I read this was, why? Sure you can do it, but do the benefits outweigh the risks of potential failure where a fault or dead battery leaves you, at the very least, stranded with no brakes.

They write that the bike version is mainly a model for brakes they will one day use on other vehicles - it's like a lab rat. But they also mention that anti-lock is as easy addition - that would be very cool mountain biking - "ride, don't slide" at the click of a button.

Forget about wireless brakes, how about shifting with your mind!
