Looks like an interesting idea Guy. My only concern is that having a handbrake in an emergency a lever is probably better and being able to modulate the braking force. It's more instinctive to grab for the lever than look for the button.

I had a brake failure in an XU1 torana years ago (The pin in the brake booster linkage popped out. It was quick use of the hand brake and being able to modulate it that pulled me up on tram lines before slamming into the car in front of me in traffic.

Just a thought

Cheers
