Abstract

Generally the word “smart” is used synonymously with “intelligent,” but in reality the dictionary definition of “smartness” is “marked by often sharp forceful activity or vigorous strength,” that is, it is active. Thus, a “smartphone” can only wake you up with an alarm, but in reality it is smart only if it can “slap” you if you don’t wake up!

You might be thinking, “wait, the brake transmits forces. If you think about it a little bit, you will realize that the brake only transmits the braking signal to the hydraulic system that actually supplies the braking force.” You cannot stop the car with the force generated by your foot.
