===Electronic brake system ===

In 1966, the [[Anti-lock braking system|ABS]] was fitted in the [[Jensen FF]] grand tourer.<ref name="auto1"/>

In 1978, Bosch and Mercedes updated their 1936 anti-lock brake system for the [[Mercedes S-Class]]. That ABS is a fully electronic, four-wheel and multi-channel system that later became standard.<ref name="auto1"/>

In 2005, ESC — which automatically applies the brakes to avoid a loss of steering control — become compulsory for carriers of dangerous goods without data recorders in the Canadian province of Quebec.<ref>[http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/entreprises_en/camionnage/matieres_dangereuses/reglement/reglement_modifiant_reglement_transport_matiere_dangeureuses Roll Stability Control system (RSC)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716213223/http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/entreprises_en/camionnage/matieres_dangereuses/reglement/reglement_modifiant_reglement_transport_matiere_dangeureuses |date=2011-07-16 }}</ref>

Since 2017, numerous [[United Nations Economic Commission for Europe]] (UNECE) countries use ''Brake Assist System'' (BAS) a function of the braking system that deduces an emergency braking event from a characteristic of the driver's brake demand and under such conditions assist the driver to improve braking.<ref name="auto">[https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs/2020/ECE-TRANS-WP.29-343-Rev.28-Add.1.pdf Agreement concerning the Adoption of Harmonized Technical United Nations Regulations for Wheeled Vehicles] unece.org</ref>

In July 2013<ref name="auto"/> UNECE vehicle regulation 131 was enacted. This regulation defines [[Advanced Emergency Braking Systems]] (AEBS) for heavy vehicles to automatically detect a potential forward collision and activate the vehicle braking system.

On 23 January 2020<ref name="auto"/> UNECE vehicle regulation 152 was enacted, defining Advanced Emergency Braking Systems for light vehicles.

From May 2022, in the European Union, by law, new vehicles will have advanced emergency-braking system.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20190410IPR37528/parliament-approves-eu-rules-requiring-life-saving-technologies-in-vehicles |title=Parliament approves EU rules requiring life-saving technologies in vehicles &#124; News &#124; European Parliament |publisher=Europarl.europa.eu |date=2019-04-16 |access-date=2020-08-31}}</ref>
