I realize this may be just semantics, but I don't think ABS is an acronym for 
Anti-lock Braking System.

anti-lock braking system (commonly known as ABS, from the German name 
"Antiblockiersystem" given to it by its inventors at Bosch) is a system on motor 
vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking.
