What is the function of the Audi A8 electronic stability program (ESP)?

I want to understand the specifics of how the ESP system works in the Audi A8 to ensure optimal handling and safety while driving.

The electronic stability program, or ESP, in Audi A8 is an advanced safety feature that monitors the vehicle's movements and intervenes by applying corrective braking to individual wheels to maintain stability.

In simple terms, the ESP system in Audi A8 senses when the vehicle is starting to lose control and helps the driver regain control by applying brakes to specific wheels.

The ESP system in Audi A8 works in conjunction with other safety systems like anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control to ensure safe and stable driving in different road conditions.
