There's so many examples of long proven technologies that are being ignored because we need to chase stuff that's perpetually "just 5 more years away"
Electric streetcars are 100 year old technology, and they're basically gone but busses filled with materials mined by african child slaves are the new hotness.

tbf, the parking pin on a modern automatic transmission is plenty to keep a car from rolling away, or it'd be a much bigger issue than it is.
Different issue if you're driving a standard, of course. Unless you just leave it in gear when you park.

How so? It stops your drive shaft from turning, preventing your drive wheels from turning. that's independent of your brakes.
that seems like a really really bad idea to even try. Great way to break your transmission.
oof, so you're just trying whatever you can.
That's the sort of moment you want your e-brake to function for sure.
