BMW has announced that it will be offering the company's new traction control system, which was introduced with the new i3S, in all its future BMW and MINI models. The technology is not limited to cars that use pure electric drivetrain and can offer optimise traction, driving stability and driving dynamics in vehicles with internal combustion engines.

The technology is a result of research into using brain decoding technology to predict a driver's actions and detect discomfort. By catching signs that the driver's brain is about to initiate a movement - such as turning the steering wheel or pushing the accelerator pedal - driver assist technologies can begin the action more quickly.

To make it an even more interesting proposition though, Audi seems to be preparing an all electric version of the long wheel base Q2 to be sold specifically in China. China is the largest electric car market in the world and last year sold over 3.86 lakh units witnessing a 50 per cent growth over the year before!
