Under normal driving conditions, car tires can generate afiction coefficient of approximately 0.7. Antilock braking systemscan increase the effective coefficient of friction to as high as1.0. For car traveling 65 miles an hour, determine the stoppingdistance for coefficients of friction of 0.7 and 1.0. How much moretime do antilock brakes give the driver to respond. Also, why haveantilock brakes not produced reductions in crash rates that wereanticipated from this calculation?
