Its not just stupid drivers with x-drive, its stupid drivers with RWD and snow tires as well. I-drive, snow tires, stability system, ABS are all useless when put in the hands of a stupid drivers. In the end, none of these systems can over come the laws of physics.

Where the coefficient of friction=

Ff = μ · N

Ff = frictional force (N, lb)

μ = static (μs) or kinetic (μk) frictional coefficient

N = normal force (N, lb)

As the coefficient of friction approach zero as with ice, μ(ice)= 0.05, the frictional force approach zero as well.
