And before that it was a parking brake as most cars were stick shift and the early automatics didn't have a park feature, so there is that. People called them emergency brakes, but that was never their intended purpose. Show us in an owners manual or FSM where it is ever called anything other than a parking brake. Hell on our 2019 Ram you can't even apply that parking brake while the truck is in motion.
