Which of the following is true about ESP?

Electronic Stability Program Emergency Safety Protocol Electronic System Protection Enhanced Safety Performance

Correct Answer:

Electronic Stability Program

Explanation:

Electronic Stability Program is a system that helps a car stay in control when you steer suddenly or when traction is reduced. It watches how the car is actually moving (using sensors for steering input, speed, yaw, lateral force, and braking) and compares it to where you intend to go. If it detects a tendency to slide or spin—like understeer or oversteer—it can brake individual wheels and/or ease back engine power to steer the car back onto your intended path. This improves stability in slippery conditions, during sharp maneuvers, or at high speeds, and reduces the risk of losing control. The other phrases don’t describe this stability system, though you may see the feature referred to as Electronic Stability Control in many vehicles.
