In conventional road vehicles an electronic differential is usually a mechanical differential that uses an onboard computer to directly control and adjust the torque split and difference in wheel speed across the axle. This is acheived by electronic actuators engaing clutch packs and locking mechanisms to acheive the desired traction condition. It is esentially a computer controlled LSD and differential lock in one. This means the computer can calculate the optimal torque split and actively vary it on the fly. In electric vehicles with separate motors driving each wheel, an electronic differential is simply a computer that controls the wheel speed of the inside and outside wheels based on the steering wheel angle, to acheive the same effect as a normal mechanical differential.

What was the non-electronic differential analyzer?

The non-electronic differential analyzer was a mechanical analog computer used for solving differential equations. It used a system of gears, shafts, and mechanical integrators to approximate the solutions to mathematical problems. Developed in the early to mid-20th century, it was an early form of computation before electronic computers became widespread.
