What is Audi R8 electronic stability control (ESC) and how does it work?

I've heard that the Audi R8 has impressive stability and handling. Can you explain what the electronic stability control system is and how it enhances the driving experience?

The Audi R8's electronic stability control system utilizes sensors and microprocessors to monitor the car's movements and adjust braking and engine power to maintain the desired trajectory. Essentially, it helps keep the vehicle stable and on track, especially in potentially hazardous driving conditions.

ESC is a technology that helps prevent skidding and loss of control while driving. In the Audi R8, it can make split-second adjustments to individual wheels to maintain proper traction and steering control, giving the driver greater confidence and control on the road.

With electronic stability control, the Audi R8 can detect when a driver is losing control and intervene quickly to prevent accidents. By applying brakes to specific wheels and adjusting engine power, ESC helps the driver maintain control in emergency situations.
