Do automatics have traction control?

Asked on 8 September 2024 by John Rayment

Answered by David Ross
Many cars have been fitted with traction control since the 1990s, with the system become virtually universal since the 2000s. The system is fitted or otherwise regardless of whether the vehicle has a manual or automatic transmission.
