You need to reread what I wrote. I said traction control that drives for you, much like the GTR. I was talking about automated performance, not slippery surface safety during daily driving.

You also need to keep up with motorsports a bit better. Traction control was banned from F1 a few years ago as it was seen as something that was ruining the sport.
