Auto of Future May Not Use Brakes on Any of Its Wheels By BILL COWELL ■ It sounds like heresy, coming from a traffic safety advocate, bat i the automobile of the future may not have any brakes on the wheels. Reason is they are notoriously ineffective at high speeds on wet or. icy surfaces. This startling auto “believe-it-or not”' comes from Andrew J. White, /director of Motor Vehicle Research, Inc., a privately financed proving ground for autos and trucks in South Lee. N. H. White goes on to say, “Our pres ent braking system is antiquated and might be the cause bf a large proportion of accidents and injur ies due to the present design that is rapidly becoming obsolete.” ’ Obsolete, did he say? And how, White continues. “This modern four-wheel hydraulic braking sys tem is capable of holding up to 90 per cent of the weight of the car but available friction between the tire and the road seldom exceeds 80 per cent on clean, dry pavement. The moment the surface becomes slippery with rain, snow or ice the braking system becomes almost use less.

If they take the brakes off the wheels where we’ve kinda got accustomed to having them, what's to stop the car? White suggests improved automa tic transmissions of the future may provide a more efficient stopping formula. "Some automatic transmissions provide braking efficiencies on ice or slippery surfaces of more use for the average driver than con ventional brakes which may lock. This type of dynamic braking is used on military tanks and is be ing considered for highway trucks at the present time. "Our tests on icy surfaces dis close that automatic transmissions provide an excellent braking media without skidding if properly han dled by the driver. Tests of 47 ve hicles over a three-year period proved that the automatic trans mission was a better means of stor ing on slippery surfaces than the brakes of the vehicle. "As car speeds increase our pres ent braking system becomes more and more obsolete and this is fur ther aggravated by wet or icy sur faces.
