You are incorrect St. Stephen, in regards to the inventors of antilock (ABS) braking systems. The first practical antilock, or “antiskid”, braking system, was developed in 1958 by Road Research Labs in Great Britain and was first available in 1966 on the Jensen FF sports sedan. This vehicle was also the first vehicle to have a working 4WD or AWD system using viscous coupling drive. Both of these systems were originally developed by Harry Ferguson (FF is "Ferguson Formula) and he had developed an AWD F1 car in 1960 called the P99. Unfortunately, Ferguson dropped dead before the debut. Stirling Moss took the car to a win at the Oulton Park Gold Cup Race in 1961.
