Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet.
You're driving safely. Suddenly
an
animal jumps out in
front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with
ABS.
A
computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If
one
of the wheels is about
to
stop rolling, the computer will
separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the
rear wheels.
The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster
than
any driver could. The computer is programmed to
make the
most
of
available tire and road conditions.
You
can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As
you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates
on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
