You'd think with all that electronics it would be smart enough to use real brakes every now and then. The plug in hybrid Prius runs the gas engine every 100 miles or so.
Better to have a reminder, surely the car could figure that one out.
It's not immediately deadly, but your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on the vehicle. They should be in good working order.
I'm genuinely curious because, for no good reason, I take pride in the fact that most trips I don't even touch the brake pedal other than to come to a complete stop and only when parking, etc where you can't regen all the way to a stop.
