She said variables like wheel slippage could yield "tiny errors that can add up."

On rough terrain, wheel slippage and bouncing can reduce the accuracy.

Because mechanical problems, like wheel slippage, can still knock it off its route.

This resulted in less traction, hence the need to de-rate the engine horsepower to avoid wheel slippage.

It controls wheel slippage with the anti-lock brake system, which acts as a four-wheel traction control.

A traction control is also standard, to limit wheel slippage under acceleration on wet or gravelly surfaces, for instance.

The VTM-4 system delivers power to all four wheels under acceleration and when wheel slippage is detected.

But there is an even broader sense which would include energy wasted by wheel slippage due to the torque applied from the engine.

Along with wheel slippage, this limited the S1's usefulness.

Front wheel drive minivans gained a new traction control system, which worked at low speeds to prevent wheel slippage.
