To add on, most people have never experienced what “full braking” is in any car since it is so uncommon to even use half of the ultimate braking power a car can deliver in a non-track day or non-emergency situation. Even a modern Toyota Camry can sustain on average >1 g of deceleration force from 70 mph to 0.

Thus, people think they have applied full brakes but in reality they are only 60-70% of the way there.
