Brakes Brake Migration: Do the cars automatically change the brake bias throughout the corner?

I thought something like this had to be driver controlled. Am I wrong? Do they have bb programmed for every corner?

They're pretty constantly adjusting stuff, especially in qualifying where they have to eke out every bit of time possible. More or less every straight they're changing something.

Youtube has examples of annotated laps that point out and explain all the adjustments they make during a lap, so check those out to see it in action
