Sure, the question is what the heck are they using that has sufficient grip?

And the ice thing, that can be dealt with via an inertial/GPS traction control system. It still won't accelerate quickly, but you can fine-tune wheel acceleration rates so that you're not needlessly spinning them up.
Yes, to a degree, but even if it's done perfectly, the acceleration will be slow (if it happens at all), simply because there isn't enough grip between tire & ice.
