      In 1995, automobile manufacturers introduced ESC systems. Mercedes-Benz provide by Bosch,first implement on W140 S-Class model. On the same year BMW also follow the Mercedes but the ESC is provided by Bosch and ITT Automotive (later acquired by Continental Automotive Systems).

      Volvo Cars began to offer their version of ESC called DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control)(1998) on the S80. Toyota's Vehicle Stability Control system (in 2004, a preventive system called VDIM) appeared on the Crown Majesta(1995) and more company investigated and developed their own systems on ECS.

      During a moose test (swerving to avoid an obstacle) which became famous in Germany as "the Elk test" the Swedish journalist Robert Collin of Teknikens Värld (World of Technology) in October 1997 rolled a Mercedes A-Class (without ESC) at 78 km/h. Because Mercedes-Benz promotes a reputation for safety, they recalled and retrofitted 130,000 A-Class cars with ESC which produced a significant reduction in crashes and the number of vehicles with ESC rose. Nowadays virtually all branded vehicles have made ESC standard on all vehicles, and the number of models with ESC continues to increase. 

      Ford and Toyota announced that all their North American vehicles would be equipped with ESC standard by the end of 2009 (it was standard on Toyota SUVs as of 2004, and after the 2011 model-year, All Lexus, Toyota, and Scion vehicles have ESC; the latest to get it was the 2011 model-year Scion tC).But until November 2010, Ford still sell vehicles without ECS in North America.

      The NHTSA ( National Highway Traffic Safety Administration )  requires all passenger vehicles to be equipped with ESC by 2012 and estimates it will prevent 5,300-9,600 annual fatalities once all passenger vehicles are equipped with the system.
