Maybe the operative words are "for now." Automobile brakes are much better engineered now than they used to be; I learned to drive when brake failures for several reasons were much more common--puncturing a brake line, leaking fluid from a cylinder, rusting up and leaking of the master cylinder, glazing over of brake pads, and so on. I would at times find myself driving a car with the brakes mostly gone--including coming downhill from the old Simplon Pass highway. When you were in the middle of such a situation, things would still be OK "for now." I was extraordinarily lucky. We are in a new paradigm that has no brakes to it, "for now." Some of those who drive down this highway will not be so lucky.
