our stability control is very smart vs a lot of other cars, but still shouldnt be relied on, i dont when its dry buy def when its wet and im taking a lot less risks or having it on incase it happens when im not trying to make it happen
However smart it is, it *still* doesn't know which way the car REALLY needs to be pointed/going.

I'd rather maintain a mild drift around a corner myself than have a blind non-sentient system try to understeer me right off the road.
