What are 2 safety features of a car that would increase the stopping time in a crash?

Question

2 built in featurs of modern cars..

Thankyou..

Would that be something like anti lock breaks?

Answer 1

Yes, ABS increases the stopping time in case of a crash. Although very minute for a real world situation they do increase distance. But in return the ABS gives a very controled stop which makes the difference between a crash and just miss situation.

Otherwise all the modern safety features are made with this one aim in mind and that is to decrease stopping distance.

Answer 2

Do you mean decrease the stopping distance ???

1. Anti-lock brakes.

2. Traction control.

Answer 3

Yes, anti lock brakes, better brakes than stock, and good tires

Answer 4

abs increases stopping distance for someone who knows how to use regular brakes...

airbags, crumple zones, traction control, vsc, impact bars, all contribute to longer stopping times b/c they add weight... BUT overall the improvement in tires and braking have meant that today F-250 4x4's stop like corvettes from 30 years ago.
