Fun fact: The Lohner-Porsche had a gas motor and 4 electric motors; one in each in wheel in 1900.

Cool but not the system I'm thinking of:

A complete real time tweaking of per wheel outputs based on live slip/velocity/momentum for perfect AWD.

In addition to the sls this idea is deployed to some extent in IC cars as well: electronic limited slip differentials can send continuously varying torque to each wheel, see the Porsche 918 spyder (combo electric and IC) or the Nissan GT-R which has a famously odd driving characteristic as a result of the computer controlled torque vectoring.

Formula Student Cars have had this for years, check out TU Delft Formula Student Electric vehicle.

Full AWD Torque vectoring.

AFAIK the Mercedes SLS Electric Drive did that in 2013 https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko.xhtml...
