why can’t we use magnetic brakes instead of friction brakes in cars

Couldn’t we just apply a magnetic force to the spinning wheel to slow it down?

You could…but you can’t slow down as fast as Friction brakes.

As mentioned, hybrid cars do use magentic brakes principle to Regen. But effectiveness of Regen is diminished as speed is reduced. Under 10mph, there’s basically no effect.
