ABS brakes were a game changer. People used to panic and spin around taking out 5-6 cars.
I always thought ABS stood for Antilock Braking System.
In this case it's automatic breaking systems.
I just don't like the idea of my car making driving decisions. Plastic bag goes across the highway and I get rear ended due to the car breaking for me. Nope, don't want it.
Actually @clif@lemmy.world was right here, the abbreviation is antilock braking system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system
but it seems this is the thing that does emergency braking too nowadays.
Good call, mine used to rapidly brake because it saw nonexistant obstacles. More than once.
what year?
Quite new. PM me if you really need to know
I'm good. If it were older I would assume some of the kinks were not worked out
