Thats kind of the idea, its ment to get in and take over before you lose control.
And as mentioned by myself, and the article you posted a link to, it will only have problems if you in some way alter the braking system in your car beyond what it was designed to deal with.

Care to describe those cicimstances?
As mentioned before there is no way your brain can modulate the brakes enough to hold the tyres a traction threshold which not only allows maximum braking force, but also gives you control.
Unless your of course driving on gravel, in which case you shouldn't really be driving a road car at speeds that could get you into trouble.
