Brake by wire means standard brakes, but the control mechanism is electronic, not hydraulic.
Still is a mechanical brake, just controlled with wires.
Overall, it should be less complex/more modular than integrated hydraulic systems. (But it also means more ‘opportunity’ for integrated sensors and non-user serviceable parts signed by code, so who knows how they’re going to mess it up.)

brake presses on a load cell, that sends a calibrate signal to calipers.
BBW significantly improved safety through independent wheel control ABS, reduced weight (~25% lighter).
