Someone is probably already working on it.
Remember GM back in the day had an ESC with traction control?

It was actually BANNED from sanctioned racing because it was able to detect over yawing of the car and correct throttle input to compensate.
I'm not 100% sure if the steering servo was run thru the ESC as well to help counter steer the car as well.
