In this report: exactly what is stability control, how does it work, and what's the real benefit to you:

Stability control (ESC, ESP, VDC, etc.) is a computer-controlled vehicle dynamics control system designed to prevent out of control skids and slides.
It measures yaw rate, speed and steering angle (among other parameters) and reduces engine power when a skid or a slide is detected.
If that doesn't cure the problem, the system can brake individual wheels to correct the amount of yaw response in the body.
It's the greatest safety advance since the seatbelt. It also helps significantly during swerve-and-avoid maneuvers.
