The mobility industry is driven by technology and innovation. This is an inescapable truth that all manufacturers adhere to, as they try to bring us consumers the most efficient, most high-tech, most performance-oriented vehicles known to man. It doesn’t really matter where you look, either. From bicycles to supercars, pretty much all manufacturers are obsessed with cutting-edge tech.
Shimano, for example, is the latest to hop on the fly-by-wire bandwagon, recently patenting electronic brakes for bicycles. This technology takes a page off of Shimano’s existing DI2 wireless shifting technology and means that we could eventually bid farewell to brake cables and hydraulic hoses.
