The University of Cologne publish in a new study that 4000 lives can be saved every year and 100.000 accidents avoided if ESC is implemented in all European cars. A summary of the study can be down loaded here ( pdf).

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) has been hailed as the most promising eSafety technology on the market. ESC senses when the driver loses control and automatically applies breaking pressure to individual wheels to help stabilise the vehicle and avoid skidding.
