Electronic parking brakes take up less space in the cabin, clean up the center console, and can automatically deploy if the car starts rolling while unattended, or automatically release if the driver forgets to release the brake before driving.
I switched from a 6 speed manual to an electric car last year, and the lack of “physical indicators” of my car’s configuration bothers me, but I can see why it is prefered by 90% of car buyers.
It’s definitely something to consider. I was pointing out that electronic parking brakes have their own benefits, since the previous comment said they did not understand them
I’m one of these people. 99% of my driving is within a 30 mile radius, inside a city. And the ~2 interstate trips I make a year are just sitting on an interstate highway for 4 hours.
I don’t understand electronic parking brakes.
Having a big “Please Don’t Move Unless Released” lever is very important to me, and I mean this earnestly.

Trouble is it is a failure point being powered (or unpowered) having a mechanical system makes sense
