How does the Audi A8's traction control system work?

I've heard the Audi A8 has a great traction control system, but I'm not sure how it actually works. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?

The Audi A8 uses a combination of sensors, algorithms, and the vehicle's stability control system to constantly monitor and adjust traction control. This helps keep the car on the road and prevent skidding in slippery conditions.

The Audi A8's traction control system uses wheel-speed sensors to detect when a wheel is losing traction and applies brakes to that specific wheel to help regain control and traction. It also works with the Quattro all-wheel drive system to distribute power to the wheels with the most grip.
