Do I have ABS or not?

I am most interested in this. Is it therefore not a legal requirement for every car to have ABS brakes in the USA? Here in UK every car has been fitted with ABS as a legal requirement for a good many years. Just interested you understand.

It is still not mandated in the US, but it became a standard feature on the Yaris starting in 2009.

Thankfully we were able to escape the evil electro nannies in the early models of the 2nd gen Yaris. Nowadays though it is almost impossible to buy a toyota without its full spectrum of electro nannies to dumb down a car.

The government has no business telling people what they have to buy in their cars. Totally absurd.
