Not much of a myth, there.
Spoiler: without ABS, you'll just spin into the moose. With ABS you maybe wont stop, but the main thing is not being crushed by the moose.
Not joking about the moose. They put up cones and say this is the moose. Without ABS everyone spins like a carnival ride, and hits the moose.
- doubled112 3y agoThis is quite literally called "the moose test" is it not?
- bdsa 3y agoThe moose test is more of a slalom around an object, and tests (sort of) stability rather than braking
- whartung 3y agoA testament to modern control systems in cars. When the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was released, it was an early release in mid-2013. And, yes, it was an early release. The first month or so of models had all sorts of problems. And one of them was that the stability control system was not dialed in. You can hunt down early video of the vehicle not doing well in the moose test. It does the swerve, but practically loses control. It’s rather horrific. Later, they updated the systems and it performs the same test much, much better. Most of these systems and what they do for day to day drivers is invisible. Watching the Jeep fail, and then later succeed, just shows how capable those systems really are.

- kqr 3y agoI don't know if it's part pf the standard practise but when I did this they also had that one car with more worn treads than the rest, and they didn't tell us. It was a huge difference on water!
