Stability control is a technology used in vehicles to enhance safety by preventing skidding and loss of control. It works by automatically applying brakes to individual wheels when it detects that the vehicle is losing traction or stability, helping the driver maintain control during challenging driving conditions. This system is often referred to as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and is especially useful in situations like sharp turns or slippery roads. By adjusting the vehicle's braking and power, stability control helps reduce the risk of accidents, making driving safer for everyone on the road.
