There were days when disk brakes up front was a luxury but now try driving a car with all drums. What you are doing is, drawing a line is practicality of inctroducing and ESP in our cars. ABS is still a costly option in our country, more than 90% of people on road do not have it(yeah even for cars costing more than 10L). So, it is the next most practical advancement from introducing seat belts for all cars(with pretensiones). Equally important is atleast driver and passenger air bags.
TCS and ESP cannot do anything that those technologies can do. The necesscity for ABS is more than for TCS, but we would not do bad if we had one, or atleast the option of buying one. As said by one of those video's its the price introduction factor is not as high as ABS.
But because of air brakes, i guess it is easier to introduce ABS + EBD + TCS in trucks and busses. A roll over protection saves a lot of lives. Not only for those truck but also for others using the road. |
