Ok, this entire premise is silly. "Humans can do things that a computer can't" is fine and all, but the entire point is that most people are not practicing that style of braking and can't do it. Heck, the beginning is that most people aren't braking at all during a wreck. Thinking that "perfect braking" would be the answer feels very disingenuous. And if you aren't covering how much speed was lost at the end of the stopping period your analysis is kind of worthless. Yes, you can stop faster with clean road and good execution of old stopping technique. Ignoring that the analysis is that that just isn't happening, but focusing on the extra 20 feet you travel with ABS ignores just how much slower you are already going for that last 20 feet. Even assuming you'd still be in a wreck, if you can reduce the brain to the panic of "slam brakes" and get a massive reduction in speed, that is still almost certainly good, no?
