As one of the most fundamental safety features in modern vehicles, the technology that prevents the car from skidding under heavy braking continues to save countless lives. What is is called?

ABS or Anti-lock Braking System was first introduced by British manufacturer Jensen and popularized by Mercedes-Benz. As the name suggests, it prevents the wheels from locking up under heavy braking and losing traction as a result. Even though it was a novelty just a couple of decades ago, today it's mandatory safety equipment in any car.
