You're applying the ABS reasoning from automobiles. Apples and oranges. You are wrong. You don't need control when running on rails. You only need control when on a road to avoid obstacles. ABS gives you some measure of steering control while braking by preventing the wheels from locking up. It does not necessarily decrease stopping distances in all scenarios. |
