Perhaps there is regenerative braking. Harder braking requires activation of disc brakes. If the battery is too full to safely dump energy into, disk brakes would be needed. All of which requires some amount of sensors and logic procrssing.

But, all that is moot. Bit flips are known about, any decent system with life critical aspects will be designed with this in mind.
