Interesting brake comment:
I don't know a lot about ABS but maybe this is how they disabled the manual brake: by having the abs cancel it out effectively.Brakes on modern car only work if the ABS unit lets them work. It could easily disable the brakes. I watched it happen once on a BMW. Guy was applying full pressure to the brakes but, none of it was getting to the wheels because the ABS unit was diverting it away from the brakes (that's how ABS works, they divert pressure and use a pump to keep the pedal height up). He ended up wrecking when it happened.
