The handbrake and foot brake are not the same brake pads. If the foot brake fails, the handbrake can still function. What are your thoughts on this?

The foot brake is the main braking method during the vehicle's operation, implemented through a hydraulic system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake fluid generates pressure under the action of the hydraulic system, pushing the piston in the brake caliper, causing the brake pads to make close contact with the brake disc (or brake drum), generating a strong friction force, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.

- HandbrakeThe handbrake is commonly referred to as the parking brake, which primarily achieves braking through mechanical means. It generally uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply the brakes. When the handbrake is pulled, the steel wire cable tightens, causing the brake shoes to make close contact with the brake drum or brake disc, generating friction to stop or hold the vehicle in place.
- Foot brakeThe foot brake is the main braking method during vehicle operation, achieved through a hydraulic system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the brake fluid generates pressure under the action of the hydraulic system, pushing the piston in the brake caliper, causing the brake pads to make close contact with the brake disc (or brake drum), generating strong friction to slow down or stop the vehicle.
