Le ESP a réhabilité le RWD, rien de moins. Le AWD est une petite commodité et n'accomplit pas grand chose pour la plupart des gens.

"Furthermore, a Daimler-Chrysler study based on data from the Federal Office of Statistics shows that after ESP® was fitted as standard, the proportion of Mercedes-Benz cars involved in serious single car accidents fell by around 42 percent. Similar studies by such bodies as the American government's "National Highway Traffic Safety Administration""
"SINGLE-VEHICLE CRASH REDUCTION • ESC reduced all single-vehicle involvements (excluding pedestrian, bicycle,
animal crashes) by the following percentages:
Crash reduction by ESC (%)
Cars LTVs*
Fatal single-vehicle crash involvements 36 63
Police-reported single-vehicle crash involvements 26 48
All four reductions are statistically significant.
ROLLOVER CRASHES
• ESC was especially effective in preventing single-vehicle first-event rollovers.
Crash reduction by ESC (%)
Cars LTVs
Fatal rollovers 70 88
Police-reported rollovers 64 85
All four of these reductions are statistically significant. "
*LTV = Light trucks and vans
Les intelligents vont catcher tout de suite tandis que les dumbs-dumbs vont continuer d'être une cause perdue.
