dont take my word for it

Gyroscopes are like little anchors in the universe, screw the road: steer your car with relative inertia! driving on ice just got wayy better. Imagine doing donuts in a car with a central axis flywheel, just hit the brakes and drop the clutch on the flywheel for instant spinning action.

It just so happens that these dynamics already come into play in existing cars, there's lots of stuff thats spinning wheels, engine flywheel, steering wheel (when I'm driving). In fact a large engine needs to have balanced piston action to keep from twisting the car.
