As vehicle owners / builders, in many cases, we all recognize our car's potential to easily get out of control without warning. The idea of using a TCS is not about trying to optimize the performance of the vehicle. It is all about safety and allowing us to drive the vehicle without having to pay continuous attention to the road surface / conditions to prevent a crash or worse.

The fact that the TCS is an all on 100% of the time traction control safety allows us to enjoy the car w/o the continual need to be sensing if we have pushed s bit too far. People can get tired, fatigued or just complacent with the vehicle and its handling proclivities. A computer will not — although it can breakdown. It's breakdowns will occur less frequently than our human misjudgments.

In the end this is about optimizing safety, you, me, the car and innocent bystanders — nothing more.
