If all cars were SAABs then SAAB would
not be as safe as they are today. Competition
is what improves a product.
As to ESP also called (Electronic stability control)...
evidence is pilling up that it is not worth much as
a safety device. First it suffers alot from bad shock
absorbers (ESC only works fine if these are nominal, I have
yet to see a car with 20000 miles that has nominal shock
absorbers... LOL) then its real nasty when it fails cause
its not a tripple system, there is NO BACKUP! Anyone that
says that his ESC system is tripple is a LIAR. To have
a tripple system you need tripple everything... 3x sensors
per wheel, 3 computers, 3x actuators per ABS channel etc.
Even most modern planes only use double systems. Only the
good old L-1011 has a real tripple system for everything.
So I think SAAB does a wise thing by simply not getting
into the 100 airbags plus ESC game... cause that will
simply not save any lives in the long run, but a good
body and smart safety features will.

Coolknight
