What is the ABS system in a car?

[StHayden]

ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System in a car. This system prevents wheel lock-up during emergency braking. All cars are equipped with ABS, and some high-end motorcycles also feature this system. If the wheels lock up during emergency braking, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it impossible for the driver to control the trajectory or slow down the car, which is extremely dangerous. The ABS system uses wheel speed sensors to detect the rotation speed of the wheels. During emergency braking, it allows the wheels to maintain a state of rolling and sliding simultaneously, enabling the driver to both decelerate and steer around obstacles.
