I am an engineer, and yeah there's no way it fails to no brake. Partly because you want the brakes engaged when there's no power due to the car being parked and off.
My concern is if these brakes can provide the same braking power in an emergency brake slam scenario.

Axial hub rotor motors can provide a transient -700hp of braking. Per wheel. This far exceeds rubber capabilities.
