ABS is indeed the Anti-lock Braking System and I think it depends on sensors to determine the skidding amount and on software to determine the interval at which the brakes are applied and let go. So, the ABS is run off electricity and not a purely mechanical system. However, brakes themselves (without the "anti-lock" part) are purely mechanical/hydraulic, but since the brakes locked up, it didn't matter.
I'm not entirely sure about electric power steering systems and how they work.

- toomuchtodo 12y agoABS depends on power not only for wheel speed measurement, but also for power to drive the brake piston.
- bonestamp2 12y ago> I'm not entirely sure about electric power steering systems and how they work. It comes in a variety of forms, but it's usually an electric motor that adds torque as you turn the steering wheel to make it easier to turn.
- mirkules 12y agoIn a hydraulic power steering system, if the power is cut, the driver can still turn the wheel (although it's much harder to do). In an EPS, is this still true?
