ESP is maybe a little more advanced than TCS..

ESP, a dream in Indian cars, like all the safety features, this will be available only in 20lakh plus cars. But work much better with earlier intruption and avoiding panic. But gives a false sense of security to the driver.
ESP will save over 20,000 lives in India every year if our trucks are equiped with one, that will be cheaper considering that most of our trucks use air brakes. This number will appear bigger if we consider the losses in money and commodities in many trucks just tipping over every day. |
Agreed..we need to have it on heavy vehicles..More than ESP..they need EBD that cannot be disconnected easily by local mechanics.
