or during a panic stop, the driver loses steering control and the vehicle can
skid. In vehicles equipped with ABS, the driver's foot remains firmly

When it comes to auto safety, there are two categories: active safety and
passive safety. Most systems do so by applying brakes or power to
individual wheels to re-stabilize the vehicle. The SimBionic runtime engine runs on these
operating systems and also on Linux.

In the past, a driver could manually 'pump' the brake pedal to prevent
wheel lockup. This
allows the driver to brake hard while still retaining directional control to
steer clear of an obstacle. Simply put, poor aerodynamics generates lift at the front and/or
rear of the vehicle, thus creating instability, particularly at higher speeds.
