You're confusing banned Formula 1 traction control systems with the kind of traction control Federalized, street-legal vehicles get. I will hold out for the possibility that the new VDC may have the ability to improve traction for motorsports purposes, but mostly it's so people don't get the "I have AWD, I'm INVINCIBLE!!!1!1!!!!" mentality in the winter and plow into curbs, cars, farm animals, and lakes.
