I understand their job is to convert motion into heat, but can it not be done without causing wear on a regular passenger vehicle? Even if price is of no concern?
Is it just we didn't find/create the ideal materials yet, or is there a scientific reason why they MUST wear out eventually? Bonus question: If we ignore brake pads and rotors (and cost), what would be the ideal method of slowing down a passenger vehicle without the need to replace brake components for the life of the vehicle? Is an electric motor the best solution we have today?
