Sounds like it might use back-EMF + battery energy to get a fast stop. In theory your stopping distance is usually traction limited more than brake system limited anyway.
Now, instead of overheating your rotors, you can overheat your motors.
Slightly odd choice to use a motor instead of an eddy current brake or some such, when it’s supposed to be a drop-in replacement for existing braking systems.
Is it supposed to be a quick hybrid conversion system rather than just a brake?
EDIT: I’m not sure if it is. The article makes it unclear, but going by the manufacturer’s site, the electric motors are meant to replace the piston on the caliper, rather than using the motor itself as a brake.

It’s still a mostly conventional braking system.
I was wondering why Brembo of all companies would give up the disc and rotor tech…
And overheating the motors will cause a slowdown!
And wear them out faster so more expensive parts to replace.
