Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a safety feature in vehicles designed to improve stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction. It uses sensors to monitor the vehicle's movement and can apply brakes to individual wheels if it senses that the car is skidding or losing control. This helps drivers maintain control during slippery conditions or sudden maneuvers. ESC is particularly beneficial in preventing accidents caused by oversteering or understeering. By automatically adjusting the vehicle's braking and power, it assists drivers in staying on their intended path. Many modern vehicles, including those from Ford, Toyota, and Honda, come equipped with this important technology.
