Yeah found the vid, 3:40 in explains it. Same system on the WRX. "Traction control" is the engine cutting, but the system doesn't turn off the "brake assist", i.e. VDC.

You're getting AWD/traction control confused with VDC. You can take a pre-VDC Subaru and do that same test. I've done it at training.


VDC uses sensors that monitor wheel spin, steering wheel input, the yaw position of the car and throttle input to keep the car on it's intended course. There's a video on Subaru.com they had not long ago that demonstrates this against other manufacturers.
