While I appreciate the manual e-brake for fun reasons, the electronic e-brake does a lot more than you think. Your new car have electronic steering? auto-cruise? those all work together. Take your car out on a quiet highway, let go of the wheel and pull the e-brake. I'll bet your car will slow down to a stop on the shoulder, may even call the hotline for you, they will make sure you are ok. And of course that e-brake button will be available to any passengers that need it
