Tesla Cybercab has no hydraulic brakes. How does it stop?

Tesla has applied an electronic braking system with no brake fluid or brake lines to its production two-door electric Cybercab. The two-seat vehicle, which is known to have no steering wheel or pedals, also does not use a traditional hydraulic brake system. Instead, electronically controlled actuators at each caliper apply braking force to the rotor. Elon Musk said electric brakes reduce the complexity of hydraulic systems by eliminating vehicle-wide plumbing.
