The concept car has no conventional steering, nor conventional brakes, but is capable of driving normally. The technology will provide an extra safety backup on top of the traditional braking and steering devices.
It’s a different system. The engines here can output more than 250 hp to each wheel, and it goes reverse if necessary. And each wheel is individually controlled by the computer.
I remember something from the early Roadster development days where they were able to lock up the tires on dry pavement just with strong enough regen.
The point is that it’s easy enough to stop the tire from spinning, but traction control (and quality of tires) is what matters the most in stopping the car.
