What is Electronic Brake Distribution all about and do F1 cars have this feature ?
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

EBD is a system where brake force is variably distributed between all four wheels according to differenct circumstances. As I understand the electronics control various valves to vary the pressure at each wheel.
The system is currently illegal in F1 but I seem to remember that it was mentioned along with other control systems tha may potnetially be allowed in the future.
