My 2016 RS3 would be virtually impossible to drive without Traction Control, stability control etc... Even at 80Mph I can lose traction on dry pavement in "Snow" mode If I am not super conscious of my driving, any lapse of concentration can be detrimental. How traction control works is kind of like a reverse of ABS, the computer senses that there is wheel spin and it detunes the engine, or it could apply brakes, reduce throttle etc.
The Stability control uses accelerometers, and compares it to steering wheel angle, and several other things to correct a bad situation, I imagine there are several ways to do this, but many cars computers can apply brakes to individual wheels to correct driver errors.
