ESP car safety system

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is an active safety system which, according to its makers, could prevent up to 80 per cent of all skidding accidents. It works by monitoring the input of sensors around your car to see whether the driver's steering input corresponds to the direction in which the vehicle is moving. It can then take measures to correct the car, such as braking individual wheels. We got to grips with it in this video.
