Abstract

See full text

A vehicle is disclosed for providing increased friction between the wheels of a vehicle and the ground. An example vehicle includes an anti-lock brake system, inertial sensor, and wheels. The vehicle also includes a computing system configured to deploy aggregate to an area proximate the wheels, responsive to determining that a vehicle traction value is below a first threshold. The computing system is also configured to, after deploying the aggregate, deploy a friction mat to an area proximate the wheels, responsive to determining that the vehicle traction value remains below a second threshold.
