Electronic stability control systems 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.
Carmakers began phasing in ESC four years ago. The agency has mandated it for all cars, light trucks, vans and SUVs built since September 2011. The system helps drivers avoid swerving out of control.
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.
