Hmmm. Only if they allow the driver to turn them all off. We drive on gravel roads occasionally and the last thing we want is some stupid computer deciding it knows how to drive on gravel better than we do. Yes, we want the wheels to lock up to stop in an emergency and we want the tail end to slide sometimes (and stay sliding, too) thankyou. In fact, sometimes we want the tail end to keep sliding on the bitumen, too, because then we know what to do - imagine opposite lock combined with the ESP trying to control the slide - eeeek!

The drivers in the Porshe Cup (or whatever it's called) have been advised to turn ABS off when racing, otherwise they'll face an expensive repair bill when their Porshe runs along the gravel trap without any reduction in speed straight towards the barrier. All because the ABS decides that it knows better. Same thing when driving on gravel roads.
