How did they drive? They probably had more accidents, which inspired someone to invent traction control.
I suspect that the average car without traction and stability control is designed to be less dynamic and more stable than the average car with traction and stability control. It seems like these driver aids would free the engineers to move the poles closer to the right half plane. Sort of like how the F16 is designed to be aerodynamically unstable to be more maneuverable. Not a perfect example but you get the idea.
