Smoking brakes

[3charri]

Yesterday while driving to work, I noticed my car's brakes were smoking, and the car was hard to stop. I turned off some of the safety features, and it started working again. I'm not sure what happened. What could be the cause?

There have been issues with older models with the brake calipers sticking.

Particularly in regard to the emergency brake (if I'm recalling correctly).
