Yep. For at least the last ten years the accounts I've worked on have
marketed ABS as a system that will help the driver maintain steering
control while braking on slippery surfaces. At times, lawyers have made me
add disclaimers noting that ABS is not meant to improve stopping
distances. Of course the latest systems have much more sophisticated
software backing them up than did the early entries, so they're better at
managing situations like extremely slippery surfaces and slow speed
application.
My first ABS equipped vehicle was a 1990 Nissan Axxess AWD.
For some obscure reason, they put ABS on the front wheels only.
When panic stopping on ice, the car did the most glorious ground loops.
