I was not aware that you could brake an individual wheel.

Oh, and ABS modulators have 4 lines going in to them. Maybe the ABS modulator on a regular car can brake individually.

It is called stability control. Created because SUVs so routinely overturned. Individual wheels are braked so that power is redirected to another wheel - overwhelming the all wheel drive function that tries to lock all wheels to a same speed.

YOU can't, because you are just using the brake pedal. Silly hu-man.
The car can, or more precisely, the car's computers with input from the sensors alllll over the car *can* brake an individual wheel. And it's the exposure of this electronic control module (ECM) to interference from outside that permits this unintended consequence.
