BMW 5 Series: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Alongside the Vertical Dynamics Platform (VDP) control unit, the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
represents the core element of the driving dynamics control systems used to
increase active safety. It
optimizes driving stability in all driving conditions and also traction when
driving off and accelerating.
Furthermore, it identifies unstable driving conditions such as under or
oversteering and helps maintain
the stability of the vehicle.

Concept
In the event of an accident, the system can bring
the vehicle to a halt automatically without intervention by the driver in
certain situations. This
can reduce the risk of a further collision and the
consequences thereof.
