Traction control works by applying individual wheel braking and throttle to maintain traction under acceleration, but unlike ESC, it is not designed to aid in steering. In 1987, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Toyota introduced their first traction control systems. In 1983, a four-wheel electronic " Anti-Skid Control" system was introduced on the Toyota Crown. ESC has been mandatory in new cars in Canada, the US, and the European Union since 2011, 2012, and 2014, respectively. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in 20 respectively, one-third of fatal accidents could be prevented by the use of the technology.

ESC does not improve a vehicle's cornering performance instead, it helps reduce the chance of the driver losing control of the vehicle.Īccording to the U.S. Some ESC systems also reduce engine power until control is regained. Braking is automatically applied to wheels individually, such as the outer front wheel to counter oversteer, or the inner rear wheel to counter understeer. When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes to help steer the vehicle where the driver intends to go. Electronic stability control ( ESC), also referred to as electronic stability program ( ESP) or dynamic stability control ( DSC), is a computerized technology that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction ( skidding).
