What was the first automobile to use and have antilock brakes?

This brake system is the greatest innovation in active safety for cars that has saved many lives. It was 30 years ago a Mercedes Benz model, the S-Class, offered as an option to prevent wheel lockup when braking suddenly. It was a big step to improve the safety of automobiles. ABS was intended for the landing of aircraft, but led to the safety of the cars too. Dunlop's Maxaret system was and earlier system. The Ferguson P99 racing car in 1960, the Jensen FF and all wheel drive Ford Zodiac (just expieremental), used this system but it was too expensive and not very reliable. The first manufacturer in the world to begin manufacturing ABS was Bosch. 1978 production started. === === Hope this helps-CorinnaHarmon.com
