Teslas have those sensors, but don’t currently use some of them (like microphones) as inputs.

Unlike human drivers, a Tesla autopilot can track the rotation of each wheel independently and in real time.

But most humans can in most cases feel when there is a loss of traction on the road. Although agreed it comes nothing close to what the car knows.

That said I am not sure that this is a core feature needed to make FSD work.
