Cars have had antilock brakes for a long time now. Sometimes those are sensitive enough to harm braking performance when the car is driven by an expert under race conditions. It is not uncommon for people building race cars from street cars or racing cars they also drive on the street to disable ABS.
Now, traction/stability control is mandated by law. Worse yet, if there's a switch to disable it or set it to a "sport mode" that intervenes less aggressively, it must reset to full-on every time the engine is started. It's that last bit I really dislike; I generally appreciate help from computers in various aspects of my life, but once I make my intent clear, I want the machine to respect my decisions.
