that should be easy enough to interface w.

re one wheel sensor wheel slip detection, I did some browsing on EV album, and probably half the diy cars are rear wheel drive, and I'm sure plenty of fwd cars are like yours where it doesn't sense just one wheel, but the ring gear or carrier.

Adding a wheel sensor isn't too awful, but I think most drivers can compete with just their brain and their foot too where wheel slipping is concerned. The other approach is to look for a large jump in rpm, but it is largely guesswork at that point as to what the vehicle speed "should" be. So maybe not much demand for the wheel slip thing.
