"ESP reacts after a vehicle starts to skid by counteracting the movement, thus significantly increasing driving safety. Using information from a variety of sensors, ESP compares the direction in which the vehicle is moving with the direction intended by the driver. If these do not agree, the vehicle is made to either under or over-steer. In a first response, ESP reduces engine power. If this is not fruitful, the system also applies braking to individual wheels - thus helping to keep the vehicle moving in the direction chosen by the driver.

Recent studies by DaimlerChrysler and Toyota confirm that people driving vehicles fitted with ESP cause significantly fewer accidents. In a study dating from 2002, DaimlerChrysler demonstrates that since ESP was fitted as standard in all Mercedes cars, their share of involvement in 'driving accidents' in Germany decreased by 25%. 'Driving accidents' are defined as those accidents in which drivers lose control of their vehicle without any other external cause. Toyota states the potential for increased safety is even higher. From its examination of nearly 1 million accidents involving personal injury, it came to the conclusion that the use of ESP could reduce the number of serious 'driving accidents' by half. ESP is now a feature offered by 16 car manufacturers worldwide."

De curiozitate cat costa un ESP?

Cei de la Dacia spuneau ca daca ar pune ESP pe Logan ar creste costul de productie cu 800 eur.

Mai ales ca pentru ESP trebuie sa pui frane cu discuri pe spate... Cum zice si ska, orice pui dupa fabrica poate costa si triplu. Si eu am vrut sa renunt la unele chestii la masina si sa le pun dupa, dar, de exemplu, airbagurile cortina (care in fabrica se pun cu 250EUR CIP) m-ar fi costat peste 20-30 de milioane...
