How does ESP work?
I understand that the 1st generation of traction control used to apply brake to control wheel spin. I remember this from a Crown Victoria long time ago. Did they improve on the technology over the years?
I read it somewhere that the modern traction control system actually reduces excess engine power to control the wheel spin. What does MB use?

They are powered by a bunch of sensors with complex algorhythms.
