I was reading about newset A4 on http://www.audiworld.com (http://www.audiworld.com/features/tests/b7a4.html). The mentioned the following:
"The new car also boasts rain sensors that facilitate intelligent automation within the wiper and braking systems. While driving down the freeway in the rain, for example, the brakes would automatically apply about 1 bar of pressure for about 2.5 seconds. This is enough pressure to wipe the brake rotors of water, allowing the brakes to perform better and therefore stop faster in inclement weather. For this feature to work the driver has to be traveling at least 43mph. When these conditions exist, the system wipes the brake rotors every 185 seconds."
Do you guys think that this is a worth while idea or something that will wear out brake pads faster?
