ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is a braking system designed to prevent vehicle skidding under emergency driving conditions. How ESP works: The ESP system consists of a central control unit (ECU), steering sensor, wheel sensors, skid sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and actuators. Its purpose is to intervene and regulate the engine and braking system while the computer monitors the vehicle's operating status in real-time. The importance of ESP: ESP can stabilize the vehicle and reduce the risk of skidding. Studies show that ESP can reduce serious traffic accidents by 50%. Currently, over 35% of cars in Europe are equipped with ESP technology, and Audi has made ESP standard on every vehicle, making it a symbol of active safety.
