Asbestos in brake pads was banned as a factory item for car manufacturers. No cars are allowed to come new with asbestos in the pads, it was a solved problem for a decade. It was allowed for replacement pads only(until last year when it was banned entirely).
How do we prevent aftermarket brake pads from catching fire now, then?
Thas a Lotta friction
EVs. Regenerative braking is no contact, not friction
Wonderful tech! Extremely dangerous and illegal to have without also having brake pads…
This reduces wear on brake pads. It doesn’t eliminate the need for them.

Ok so how do they not catch fire without asbestos
