Abstract
A hydraulic brake system for an automobile comprises an automatic brake valve disposed in a fluid passage between a pump and a reservoir. The automatic brake valve is actuated by an obstacle-sensing computer to increase the fluid pressure in the fluid passage irrespective of foot brake pedal depression. Therefore, the brake may be applied even when the automobile driver should be unaware of an obstacle on the road.
