I have not tested the theory but after last winter intend to keep a trailer board in the boot as the whole waiting on a wheel to slip is a joke on ice and snow.
The computer just thinks you are driving and does hee haw to help you. By which time your wheels are now on sheet ice.

volvo use this , it is called " Instant-Traction" .
regarding waiting for a wheel to slip , it is literaly one spoke movement on the wheel rim, not exactly waiting for the wheel to spin ..
