Or black ice.. hitting the brakes and seeing how far you slide is the only test to determine safety, from my experience.

Is that hard for a computer to do?

The mere fact that it won't panic on black ice is already a huge advantage. And it will have very detailed feedback to and from the traction control systems.

With copious sensor data and individual wheel control, I bet one could devise a more elegant solution.
