You could also set it up so the front lever applies the rear brake at a tunable proportion of the front brake application. The rear lever would only apply the rear brake for when you want to do wikkid skids, but the front lever would apply both brakes.

It kinda works on motorbikes (moreso now I guess that ABS is common) but I can't foresee why I'd want to be braking with one hand on a push bike? What possible benefit does it have?

Keeps a hand free so you can instagram the crash

Not sure if mentioned yet... but aircraft (Boeing 787s) have electric brakes.
With the requirement for safety, redundancy and no increase in weight.
Obviously they aren't wireless though!
