Principle of action

Control of controllability in turn

This system provides controllability of the car in extreme conditions (evasion from collision with an obstacle, a drift in turn, etc.).

The system allows to control better the car at extreme driving and to adapt it under individual style of driving.

However, this system does not replace the driver. It does not expand a possibility of the car and should not induce the driver to the movement at higher speed.

Even in the presence of this system, driving the car, the driver has to be careful and be attentive (the driver has to keep constantly readiness for any surprises which can arise during the movement).
