ESP test

john s · 05-15-2000, 09:05 AM

Test was conducted on a snow covered road surface at 45 MPH; negotiate chicane - (1)right, (2)left, (3)right, (4)left, (5)right, (6)left. Non-ESP car never made it to the last right-left, went perpendicular off course. ESP car used brakes on the inside front wheel to control yaw rate, something the driver can't do for himself.
