That's kind of what I was getting at, I can't imagine having a brake controller without having the ability to activate the brake with a lever/button. I am not even sure how I would properly set the gain without it, I have always used the lever when setting gain. I'm no trailer brake expert though, just a casual user.No way in hell does the computer know when to emergency brake.
There have been a few times driving along the East Coast in Delaware when a gust off the ocean starts shaking my camper. A slight squeeze of the trailer brake and quick press of the accelerator puts everything back in line.
No computer will know that trick and can sense outside influences to trigger it.
Sure, I can see the computer knowing when to brake the trailer/camper, but that is only in normal slow down and stop of a light or in traffic.
