I have it on my 07" Ford Explorer, it's called Advactrac with Roll Stability Control. And I had to do a major swerve at 73 MPH when a coil from a truck rolled in front of me, and the RSC came on and not only prevented a rollover, but kept the car in line.

As professional driver I do not need ESC to keep control of my car

ESP (ASR ABS EBD BAS) Standard Equipment since 1997 in all mercedes benz passenger cars. And S Class was the first vehicle in the world who incorporate much of the safety innovations like the airbag. Mid Size Sedans? C Class have ESP of the early models of three generations back

BMW? 97 ESP, BAS standard equipment in all the line of Mercedes Passenger cars, Even in the cheapest C Segment A Class Classic.

@rings123 Yeah, it is standard in Europe and has been for years. They're talking about the the US. The US doesn't acknowledge the rest of the world, even though it's known to occasionally adopt its technologies, albeit years late.

Hmm.. my 2007 EU spec Ford Focus had - ABS, TSC and ESP as standard.. and AFAIK most of the cars, even the small ones do have these systems as standard today.

The next thing to wait for the small car segment is the distronic (i.e. radar guided) cruise control.

ASC and ESP not the same. ASC is just another name for Traction Control wheras ESP is Stability Control (which includes traction control and EDL also as part of the system).
