Electronic stability control systems, which carmakers began phasing in four years ago, are saving an average of 734 lives per year in the U.S., according to a three-year analysis by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The agency has mandated ESC which helps drivers avoid swerving out of control for cars, light trucks, vans and SUVs built since September 2011.
NHTSA proposed in May to expand the same technology to large commercial trucks. The agency estimates that doing so would prevent slightly more than half of truck rollover crashes.
