Among the following types of brakes mentioned, which one does NOT exist as a braking system in cars?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Command brake (Freno de mando). This term is incorrect and does not correspond to any actual mechanical braking system in automotive engineering. As a future driver, you must distinguish between the two main types of brakes based on their construction: Disc brake: Uses a rotating disc and pads that are pressed by a caliper. They are very effective and dissipate heat well, which is why they are usually mounted on the front wheels (and often on the rear). Drum brake: Uses a rotating drum and internal shoes that expand. They are less effective at dissipating heat and are usually found on the rear axle of economy or older vehicles. It is important not to confuse the physical type of brake (disc/drum) with its function or actuation (service brake, emergency brake, or parking brake).
