I am not 100% sure which “sense” this would be, but when I drive I can “feel” the texture of the road and intuit roughly how much traction I have. I’m not special, every driver does this, consciously or not.

I am not saying that you couldn’t do this with hardware, I am quite confident you could actually, but I am just saying that there are senses other than sight and sound at play here.

Whilst that might feel re-assuring that you're getting tactile feedback, I doubt that there's many situations apart from driving on snow and ice that it's of much use. Fair enough if you're aiming for a lap record round a track, but otherwise you shouldn't be anywhere near the limit of traction of your tyres.

Snow, ice, and rain are cases that still need to be accounted for so that really doesn’t dispel anything I said.
