Do you know how your car actually comes to a stop? Simply stated, the action of stepping on the brake pedal builds up energy by depressing on the throttle. This energy is converted into friction and heat, which in turns slows, and then, if everything is in good working order, will bring your vehicle to a complete stop. Without much thought from you, this process is repeated hundreds of times every time you head down the road. Over a period of time, the friction and heat created by the pads clamping down on the brake rotors actually wears down their metal surface, and problems arise, possibly leading to a costly brake replacement.
