The Daily Driver Benefit: How Torque Vectoring Improves Safety
While torque vectoring is often marketed for its performance on a track, its benefits for everyday safety are equally significant. By constantly optimizing traction and handling, it acts as an invisible co-pilot, helping you maintain control in unexpected situations, such as emergency lane changes or slippery road conditions.
For example, if you need to swerve to avoid an obstacle, torque vectoring can help the car rotate more predictably and stabilize more quickly afterward, reducing the risk of a spin or loss of control. On a rain-slicked highway on-ramp, it can help manage power to prevent the front wheels from washing out (understeer) or the rear from sliding (oversteer).
FAQ
Q: Is torque vectoring always active?A: Yes, in most systems, it is constantly monitoring driver input and vehicle behavior, making minute adjustments thousands of times per second to keep the vehicle on its intended path.
