History
The Mercedes-Benz O303 was launched in 1974 at the Paris Motor Show as a replacement for the O302.[1] In 1985, the O303 was the first bus to offer anti-lock braking.[2]
Over 33,000 O303s were built over an eighteen-year period. It was superseded by the O404.

gollark: Any recent computer will have hardware video encoders for at least H.264 also.
