Default ABS Kicked in?!?!

Today the fool in front of me decided to go from 80 to 0 in a blink. I kinda floored my brakes and my car skids a little on and off, instead of a continuous tires lock skid. Does that mean the ABS kicked in? Cause I didn't feel any pulsation on the brake pedal. I did use the gear lever to downshift due to my quick instinct, so that helps bring this beast to a complete stop with no problem. Kinda impressed with this car's stopping capabilities, the car tracks straight!

This was not on a normal asphalt road by the way, it's one of those white surface thing, I don't know what it's called, which is more slippery I guess.. and I was in Sport+ too, didn't notice any nose dive like normal cars would.

ABS for sure, it doesn't always have to be accompanied by pedal feedback especially on dry asphalt it should be smoother.

ABS are better now. Electronic/solenoids are so well designed and react so fast versus what was used in the past. You're not going to feel the pulses like before.
