Priority dated Nov 9, 2005 (almost a decade ahead of the two patents quoted in this post) describes an in - wheel motor vehicle drive system that
replaces friction brakes and operates all mandatory safety features such as ABS, ESC and EBA
I intended to get the discs resurfaced because A) I understood it to be routine practice when
replacing the pads, and B) the
brakes as a whole had been screeching for some time, and the discs are very clearly glazed over and lacking the gritty
friction of fresh rotors.
