And as these cars will be doing high speeds they need ABS+EBD, but not ESP. An in some tricky/high risk/accident zone situation, EBD can really help. 90% of the things will be controlled.
Addition of ESP will ofcourse really help, but the indian market need ABS+EBD not ESP.
Excatly, thats what I mean. If some oppsote/behind/next will not be ( mostly they are not ) sensible, i.e. already they are not sesnsible, and if they get this ESP security, they will be more senseless.
I dont think that Indian cars have to conquer snow so frequently the ESP is needed.
We dont have so much power in our vehicles that we need ESP to make some sense when we encounter loose stuff, gravel and uneven surfaces, we can easily manage ourselves and if ABS/EBD is avaiable, it will help while braking. I totally agree with you in the ABS part.
Agree with you that ABS is a must and must be applied to almost all vehicles.
I believe that Accident is something that can happen no matter what you have in your or what is the badge on your car. But then there are sort of situation which could have been avoided, if not you, then by the opposite person. ABS+EBD will help reduce the chance and number of crashes and accidents.
ESP will increase the risk of both. |
ESP can help the lehman to avoid oversteering the car. Many of them looses control because they oversteers the car in an emergency situations. It will avoid it most of the times. No matter if you are running 100 kmph or 200 kmph.
Why Indian cars don't needs them? Indian Cars are tortoise or what?
Yesterday i had driven Sonata with ESP but couldnt test it because it was a test car and i don't wanna do anything stupid lol on Delhi roads.
Indian cars or any other cars all over the world can loose control in the wet conditions. Where we have less visibility on the road at point of time in the rain. less visibility i.e less time to react and less time to think and limited thinking at the time of emergency. Means our car can do the trick.
I'm again saying you are right about few idiots will try to do some stupid things if they have ESP. We have Stupid Drivers all over the world and in US too where this thing is getting popular.
