receiving, by a brake controller, a first signal from a position sensor of a first pedal;
receiving, by the brake controller, a second signal from a pedal sensor of the first pedal;
determining, by the brake controller, that the pedal is being pressed based on the first and second signals;
calculating, by the brake controller, an amount of pressure to apply based on the first signal;
receiving, by the brake controller, a second amount of pressure to apply from a second brake controller;
comparing, by the brake controller, the amount of pressure to apply and the second amount of pressure to apply; and
sending, by the brake controller, an instruction to apply a brake pressure in response to the determination that the amount of pressure and the second amount of pressure are the same.
