EN | Double lane change with and without ESP® in a Mercedes S class from 1995

A milestone invented for life: The anti-skid system called Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) revolutionized active driving safety back in 1995 when it was first installed in a Mercedes S class. It detects vehicle skidding movements, and actively counteracts them. This still considerably improves driving safety. Check out the video to see the difference in vehicle behavior when driving with and without ESP®.

ESP is an incredible invention. Love it on track in competition mode ESC on my vette, perfect amount of compliance with tons of confidence in the safety of the car.

Invention of the Century.

Thank you Bosch for your invention that saved my life ❤

I like my ESP on

[@berner]

I have a 2002 C320 Mercedes and I've been driving it with ESP off ever since I've owned if for the last 2 years. I can corner turns with the speed limit being 50 km/h while going 60 km/h tight and comfortably so I can only imagine how good it must be with the ESP on. This whole time though I thought the ESP _was_ on, but nope, I have to push the button.

Because you never experience tyres losing grip. Trus me every tyres is not the same so thus the road. When it kicks in then you will find it between live and death 😅

i should try this

[@zevetec1346]

the porsche carrera gt does not have it and that is why it is a quite dangerous car and because it does not have an esc there have been many accidents and deaths like the paul walker but it is an incredible car the bad thing is that it does not have a double clutch transmission

it for real. the car i learned to drive was a 250D w124. i just learned it didn't have ESP, after the movie fast and furious came out neighborhood friend found a road that didn't have traffic. driving the merc faster i soon learned to be my own esp since I had a 5MT. boy sorry to the girl that i learned the Norwegian flick with.

One point should also be noted that the vehicle without ESP stopped early while the one with esp stopped later....so ESP is only to prevent toppling at the cost of reducing the brakeforce......so if both vehicles are to hit a wall then possibly one with esp will hit straight but with higher speed and the one without esp will hit sideways but with slower speed.....i may be wrong...this is just my understanding by the visuals in the video...please correct me if anyone frels otherwise

[@maverick-6356]

can we drift with esp?

[@anubhavsingh2444]

No

[@S4B8Killa]

Only time my audis tried to kill me was when esp/asr was on
