Electronic braking? Probably not, but shifting that recharges as you ride could be on the way (road.cc)

Yeah, but will it become mainstream where commuter will concern whether they need brake by wire? I don't think so though. It's not in a way like when we go from rim brake to disc brake.

It depends on how hard bike companies want to push it. If a bike has anything integrated with a battery (Di2, AXS, whatever) then I'd imagine that it'll just become normalised, like hydraulic brakes have been (or, for that matter disc brakes!).
