Dan,

May I add;

A) A light on the dash that flashes when there is wheel spin.
   More spin = faster flashing
B) Audio tone in ear piece. Higher pitch = more slippage.
C) Vibrating device attached to gas pedal.
D) Gas pedal back pressure like an AT kickdown that can be overridden 
   and gets stronger with more slippage.

Under all of the above conditions the driver has ultimate control.
It's not traction "control" it's traction "advice". How would that 
violate any rule?
