Why does your car have ESP? Sounds like a privacy nightmare!

Also, why is the a button for electro-convulsive therapy (aka shock treatment)?

Are you driving some kind of bizarre mind control car?

It's strategically placed right next to the ESP so that the car gives you a 15.000 volt shock anytime you turn it off.

Just like that poor guy at the start of Ghostbusters.

ESP, or Electronic Stability Program, uses the brakes to brake individual wheels and keep the car going in the intended direction, when it detects that the vehicle is sliding out of control. It is often paired with TCS—Traction Control System (usually controlled with the same button)—which cuts fuel to the engine when it detects wheel spin. Can't lose traction when there's no power going to the wheels.

In other words, it's the fun button. Press it once when you want to have some fun (turns off TCS), press and hold it to have a lot of fun (turns off both TCS and ESP; professional drivers only).
