> ... Subaru BRZ 2nd gen with the manual transmisson.

How does it manage that? Is the clutch electrically controlled?

It is just emergency braking (electronic brake distribution across all wheels according to sensor readings), plus ABS in a hard braking scenario. The clutch is not affected.

So the car brakes, but you have to press the clutch?

You don’t have to, the car will stall out. Another scenario: you are in 5th gear and the cruise control slows down to 15mph. The car stalls. My manual did that 25 years ago

Frankly, I do not know – mine is the '23 model, not the '24 one.

According to this video, breaks will be applied automatically, even if it is in neutral or if the engine stalls: https://youtu.be/8WIydvZZ23I
