Let's say hypothetically, if XDS is for better handling only, then isnt that a safety feature that a car is handling better should you say, have to turn sharply or as it works along side ESP that you get better traction ? Should you need to swerve, turn sharply etc, XDS/ESP will keep you on the road more than a car without it, and as you guys say give better handling should you need it. All safety features in my eyes.
It works with ESP?
Surely ESP works on its own...and will cut power - the opposite of what XDS does...that's to allow more power to be used, and transmitted to the tarmac by preventing the wheelspinning wheel from taking (and wasting) all the torque, as it would normally do in a car with an open diff.
XDS is only a more advanced version of EDL - it uses the ABS pump to activate the calliper of the spinning wheel, to try to stop torque wastage and send it to the wheel with grip.
It's doing a similar job to a LSD (electronically...and not as well to be honest) and you would never accuse an LSD as being a safety feature, would you?
Which means you can use more power, and corner faster...in a very unsafe way!
Not especially Safety enhancing that - allowing you to corner harder!
