F1 banned traction control in 2008, but it's common in other race series. Road-car traction and stability control systems use a combination of engine mapping and ABS to, er, control traction.

Traction control and stability control are similar in some ways, but they have big differences that are important for drivers to understand.

DETROIT -- Japanese automaker Toyota announced it will recall an estimated 460,000 vehicles due to a software issue that can impact the vehicle’s stability control system.

Development on the stability control system began in order to take another step forward in that mission, as it further decreases the likelihood of highside crashes.

The Traction Control System (TCS) / Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) indicator light may not illuminate when the system kicks into action in 2024-2025 MX-5s, according to Mazda's filing with NHTSA.
