In my world:

ABS= driving for the conditions, space cushion, and knowing what's around me and not stomping on the brakes like I'm trying to stop a train.

TCS= Control of the pressure my right foot is exerting on the accelerator pedal.

Growing up w/ cars that had NONE of these options I learned how to drive w/o them. I personally don't count on/can't stand them anyways.
