Nope. There are ESC's coming that supposedly WILL do this, however. Orion's system, and I believe Castle has software coming that will do something similar.

In Castle's case, it will drive sensorless just fine, since it does that natively, and will drive sensored in sensorless mode. Orion's seems to do both, and will use a hybrid sensorlss/sensor system depending on the motor's RPM. For sensorless motors, it should work fine as well. LRP and Novak's ESCs only do sensored motors.
