traction controlTraction control is an option on many cars today. When engaged, it "senses" when a driving tire has no traction. The system will then compensate for this by slowing the spinning wheel through partial application of the brake, reducing power or both. The system uses wheel speed sensors to monitor the wheel speed. When traction is lost the sensor prompts the brake computer to partially apply the brake to the wheel that is spinning, allowing it to gain traction. Sort of like Antilock brakes in reverse.

Also the same effect will be produced by the compurter inceasing or decreasing fuel to the engine

Lasty on some vehicles there is a power and winter setting where in the "winter" mode the transmission is started off in a higher gear to prevent tire slippage, and "power" is normal
