What Is the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)?

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) avoids skidding and keeps vehicles moving in the right direction. It includes electronic stability control (ESC), traction control (TCS), and anti-lock braking system (ABS), and employs an array of sensors to gauge the movement of the car. An electronic control unit uses this information to compute and modify the vehicle's direction, restricting engine output and applying the brakes for better control and stability.
