Cable actuated hydraulic brakes. Seen a couple of these on disc equipped road/gravel bikes.
To my cynical mind this looks like a marketing wheeze to permit the description as "hydraulic" discs but without the expense of hydraulic STI levers.
Am I wrong....

The power and adjustment of a hydrolic caliper without having to use specific shifter/brakes.

Self adjusting pads

IMO it's a stop-gap solution and nothing else - has anyone developed a combined hydraulic brake, electronic shifting lever yet? I assume they'll be a million quid of course.

Shimano did ages ago. It's the mechanical shifter / hydraulic brake that's taken a while but they're available now and bloody good.
