In a panic brake condition, Liberty's brake assist system applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance.

Maybe ?????

I don't see anything exactly like the vw system, but we do have Brake assist-

The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the antilock brake system (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance.

and

ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE PROPORTIONING
Vehicles equipped with ABS use EVBP to balance front-to-rear braking. The EVBP is used in place of a rear brake proportioning valve. The EVBP system controls the slip of the rear wheels during braking at low to moderate deceleration, up until the point where ABS control is necessary. The brake pressure at the rear wheels is controlled by using the inlet and outlet valves located in the hydraulic control unit (HCU).

EVBP activation should not be perceptible by the customer because there is no pump motor noise and almost no brake pedal feedback.

I think most peoples rear brake issues are a result of spinning tires on ice, mud or gravel and ESP trying to stop the spinning.

You should see how fast SRT8 Challengers, Chargers and 300's wear them out
