There is no such thing as "manual break override". You will always be able to use breaks in any car, regardless of what systems they're running. You might be without a booster, but still.

You can also just shut the engine down with the ignition switch.

That isn't true. There are many models with no mechanical linkages for the breaks.

You're confusing the parking brake for the hydraulic braking system.

The brake pedal is alway mechanically connected to a split/redundant hydraulic braking system.

Park break, yes. Regular breaks, no.
