ABS-style braking is the opposite of traction control. The former
automates the stopping of vehicles, that latter the acceleration.


Yes, but they work in the same way using the same physical features of
the car, taking advantage of how the differential works to deliver the
former, which is why adding the latter is mainly a software thing.


I would hope that proper traction control fed the power the most
suitable wheels, without having to rely upon brakes on the least
suitable wheels absorbing 100HP that the electronics says should be
suppressed.
