Electronic limited slip differentials are computer controlled variable slip differentials. It can theoretically go from completely open to completely locked as needed. It varies the speed difference between the wheels based on sensor data from the car. Compared to conventional limited slip differentials; electronic limited slip differentials have computers, solenoids, hydraulic components and cooling systems.
Brake vectoring systems use the brakes to limit the speed difference between wheels.
Torque vectoring systems can feature one or both systems mentioned above.
