ESC stands for Electronic Stability Control system, also known as the Driving Safety Supplement System. It is an active safety device in vehicle configurations. Specific details are as follows: 1. ESC, short for Electronic-Stability-Controller (Electronic Stability Control System), is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle. It is also an extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). The influence of ABS and TCS functions can be seen in ESC, making it the culmination of current vehicle safety electronic devices. 2. ESC is a further extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). On the original basis, it adds a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor when the vehicle is steering. Through the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), it controls the driving and braking forces of the front, rear, left, and right wheels to ensure the lateral stability of the vehicle during driving.
