How does the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) work in the Audi A2?

I'm wondering what kind of technology or systems allow the Audi A2 to maintain stability and control. Could it be the ESP system? How does it work and what benefits does it provide?

The Audi A2 uses a technology known as Electronic Stability Program (ESP) to improve vehicle handling and stability. It uses sensors to detect and monitor wheel speed, steering angle, and lateral acceleration. By applying braking to individual wheels, it helps to prevent skidding and loss of control, resulting in increased safety for the driver and passengers.
