(Tech Tuesday) Thanks Germany!

Check it out! Two days in a row with posts! Anyways, do you have brakes? If so here's something new just for you. Some really smart folks over at Saarland University in Germany have created wireless brakes! But Mister J! Wireless breaks seem unreliable, they could fail! Not to worry! Those same really smart people have crunched the numbers and it has a reliability of 99.999999999997 percent! This means that if you hit the brakes one billion times, it'd fail three times. That's not too shabby. Oh, and don't worry about that little delay between when you squeeze and the brakes are applied, it's only 250 milliseconds.
