I've heard pros and cons on this for a long time. Doesn't this process happen naturally over time anyway? I recently replaced brakes and rotors on my TV. I did not do any bedding and braking seems just fine. Do they do this on new cars? Probably not.
Back to my days as a Learjet mechanic. The lead mechanic decided he needed to bed the brakes after four new brakes and four new tires were installed. He did several high-speed taxis with max braking, but apparently didn't allow enough cool down time between. Caught all four brakes on fire, burned up the tires and caused damage to the struts. Very expensive.

She sure caught me off guard when she started talking about bedding. I need a cold shower.

find a road that is not terribly busy
drive at 35 mph; then brake to 5 mph
repeat 2 x
increase speed to 55 mph; then brake to 5 mph
repeat 3 x
These are not "panic stop" braking.
drive for 30 minutes to allow cool down.

Only thing I bothered to bed brakes for was my track car. Its necessary for that, but for everything else I drive on the roads, I just swap and go. Thats me. Not best practice.

So basically take it out on a trip and they bed themselves.

Who would have thought after 50yrs of just putting on new pads/drums/rotors we were all doing it wrong LOL. I am in the crowd of putting them on and driving it - done.

I've replaced many brakes over the years. I have never bedded any of them and probably never will.
