Why Threshold Braking Is Impossible - ABS Wins!

I found this to be a good discussion of subject that comes up on this forum occasionally.

Completely agree. Those who think they can beat a four channel ABS should go race F1 because Hamilton locks his up all the time.

 

A fair assessment. I wonder when the day will come that we have commercialized AI auto racing, where the skill is not operating the car but rather training the AI drivers.

Technology can be great thing, but I am someone who enjoys operating vehicles purely for the experience of it. It would be a sad day when manual operation of cars is not allowed because it's "too dangerous".

 

Old thread perhaps, but...

I sent my daughter to "Skid School" for enhanced driver training.

Braking technique, with avoidance maneuver.

Curiously, The late model Volvo XC90 will do both! Electric assist steering.
