Do manual transmission cars need ESP?

[VeraAnn]

Manual transmission cars do not need ESP. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which reduces the power transmitted by the transmission to bring an out-of-control car back on track. The working principle of ESP is: it judges the driving state based on sensor signals and uses a control unit for precise calculations. When situations like spinning, understeering, or oversteering occur, it individually controls each wheel to improve vehicle stability. The functions of ESP are: 1. Precisely controlling the braking process of one or more wheels and distributing the braking force applied to each wheel; 2. The EPS system automatically adjusts the engine's output torque to control the vehicle's speed; 3. Forcing the car to generate a rotational torque around its center of mass, replacing the driver in adjusting the car's direction.
