What does ESP mean in cars?
1 Answers
ESP in cars stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is a general term for systems or programs designed to enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. It analyzes vehicle driving state information from various sensors and then sends correction instructions to ABS and ASR to help maintain dynamic balance. The ESP system consists of a control unit and steering sensors (monitoring the steering angle of the steering wheel), wheel sensors (monitoring the speed of each wheel), skid sensors (monitoring the state of the vehicle rotating around the vertical axis), and lateral acceleration sensors (monitoring the centrifugal force during turns).
