ESP saves lives by improving vehicle stability in critical conditions. However,
do remember it can’t change the laws of physics – so beyond a certain point –
a crash will happen no matter how complex the system!
Figure 14.18 shows the overall control system and the operating functions of
the ESP system.
The computing power of ESP means that it is now possible to network active
and passive safety systems so as to address other causes of crashes. For
example, sensors may detect when a vehicle is following too closely and slow
