DSC saved my life!
BMW's Dyanamic Stability Control caught my spin before it caught me! Hydroplane!!! I was doing between 85-100 mph in the rain (I know -- tsk) when I hit a huge puddle.

Volkswagen has announced plans to install the safety feature, Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP), as a standard trait in all of its 2009 models -- ahead of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 2012 deadline. Volkswagen reports it is the first non-luxury manufacturer to include a standard electronic stabilization system on all of its vehicles. The NHTSA predicts that if every vehicle was equipped with ESP, an estimated 10,000 lives could be saved each year.
