motorweek on pbs rates cars on their stopping distance which varies widely from car to car. so the real world is more complex the math models of simple physics.
What makes a major difference is that total stopping distance is from the time a computer activates the brakes to zero feet per hour.
NOT the same as Wheel Lock
ON some vehicles the ABS keeps the wheels just shy of lock.. This is supposed to be the best breaking point.... Math here is much, Much more complex.
My figures are SKID distance... From the point of wheel lock.
