What is the function of the electronic stability control in an Audi A1?

I'm interested in knowing how the electronic stability control in an Audi A1 improves handling and safety on the road. Can you provide more information on its purpose and how it works?

The electronic stability control (ESC) in an Audi A1 is a safety feature that helps to prevent the car from skidding or losing control while driving.

By monitoring the car's speed, steering angle, and wheel rotation, the ESC can apply individual brakes or reduce engine power to keep the car stable on the road.

In certain situations, like on slippery roads or when taking sharp turns, the ESC can assist the driver in maintaining control and avoiding accidents.
