Whatever the outcome of the Prius brake recall, it sounds like educating the public on antilock brakes will be part of the answer.
Wozniak is quoted as indicating the car would coast for a bit on an icy road, rather than stop immediately, and that this was "scary".
It's "scary" if you assume without the antilock brakes the car would have stopped immediately; not so scary if you realize your brakes would have locked up with loss of steering.
Wozniak may need some one-on-one education on the fact that it's friction between the road and the car tire that stops the vehicle.
