From Panic Stops to Skid Control: The Everyday Benefits of Electronic Braking in the US
For American drivers, electronic brake systems are no longer a luxury; they are an integral part of the daily driving experience, providing invisible assistance in a variety of common and dangerous scenarios.
Imagine having to slam on the brakes to avoid a deer crossing a country road. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking, allowing you to steer around the obstacle while braking hard. Simultaneously, the Brake Assist System ensures you get maximum braking power the instant you stomp on the pedal. On a rainy day, when accelerating from a stoplight, Traction Control (TCS) stops the wheels from spinning uselessly on the slick pavement, maintaining grip and direction. And when taking a highway on-ramp too quickly, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can detect the beginning of a skid and automatically apply brakes to individual wheels to help "catch" the car and keep it on its intended path.
