Ford Motor Company will be the first manufacturer to launch a new technology which can predicts when a car might skid and thus prepares itself to prevent the driver from losing control over the car. As per the company, the Enhanced Transitional Stability is the industry first production car system which will be used in new Ford Focus.

The system calculates when a car is about to skid by taking into account car’s speed, position of steering wheel and the speed at which the steering wheel is being turned. If the system detects that the car is about to skid, it applies brake to individual wheels and activates Electronic Stability Control (ESP) and all this happens even before the driver realizes that if anything is wrong!
