What year was the vehicle that did not have anti-lock brakes?
I think it was not mandated into US law until about a decade ago, but some OEMs have offered it since 1987, like Mercedes Benz
- aidenn0 5y agoNot OP, but ABS wasn't mandatory in the US until 1999, about 20 years after the first S class shipped with them.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoElectronic Stability Control is what was mandated in the US a decade ago.
- swimfar 5y agoAn earlier form of anti-lock brakes were available in some American cars starting in the late 60's. It was standard in the 1974 Lincoln Continental, 4 years before Mercedes even had it as an option. https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/antilock-brakes/ https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/antilock-brakes/
- joecool1029 5y agoOnly mandatory for trucks. My 2002 miata is a non-ABS car.
- everdrive 5y agoMy first car was a 1997 Jeep Cherokee with no antilock brakes. So at least as late as 1997.
- hn_throwaway_99 5y agoYes, ABS was definitely a feature in 2000, but they were optional on many (most?) cars back then.
