Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An electronic control unit (ECU) is disclosed. The ECU may detect an emergency stopping event associated with a vehicle. The ECU may determine, based on detecting the emergency stopping event, that electro-hydraulic brakes of the vehicle are in a disabled mode. The ECU may determine, based on determining that the electro-hydraulic brakes are in the disabled mode, a position of a brake pedal of the vehicle. The ECU may override, based on the position of the brake pedal, the disabled mode to engage the electro-hydraulic brakes during the emergency stopping event.
