In general, your car is using a lot of kinetic energy for moving efficiently. The hydraulic fluid is providing enough pressure to the brake caliper for pressing the brake pads against the brake disc. When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake shoes are pushed against the brake drum for creating friction and stop the wheels.
