Is Electronic Brake Force Distribution EBD the same as Electronic Stability Control ESC?

To answer your question, some very expensive or advanced cars use electronic seat belt tensioners taht receive a signal from the brakes that you are stopping suddenly and so it tightens the seatbelt. But in all cars, there are two weights around a center rod inside the seat belt pulley taht will expand outward due to centrifigual force when the rod spins quickly and lock the pulley preventing more belt from expanding out. Really is it caused by how fast the belt is being pulled out so you can try it by just grabbing the seat belt with you hand and pulling it out very quickly and it should lock if you can pull it fast enough.
