Clark’s Scion XB has something called "electronic stability control," a safety feature that has already saved him from a potentially horrible accident. The great news is that by 2012, all cars will have to have ESC, according to a new government edict. So, what is ESC? It's a new technology that automatically corrects a car that is about to flip, turn over and the like. GM and Ford are working on getting ESC in cars over the next few years. Toyota and Honda already have it in most SUVs and some other cars. So, ask about it if you're thinking of buying a car. We’ll keep you posted on progress, but this is actually something for which we should congratulate the government. Shocking, isn't it?
