VSA and AHA, both use independent braking channels to maximize traction, VSA could be at play, or Honda Engineers could have disabled it with software to prevent unexpected loss of control from a rather immediate throttle response change.
A little reading about the Electronic steering in our cars:
Dual-Pinion Variable Ratio Electric Power-Assisted Rack-and-Pinion Steering (EPS)
New for Insight, the Electric Power Steering (EPS) incorporates dual-pinion gears and a variable gear ratio for a comfortable, confident and refined driving experience as well as excellent road feel. Compared to a traditional single-pinion steering system, the dual-pinion EPS utilizes the physical steering input from the driver as well as from a supplemental electric motor. A non-contact torque sensor measures the driver’s steering effort and an ECU determines how much electric motor assist to add, with the result being a seamless, natural feeling steering in all situations.
The steering ratio is variable over a 16.3 percent range with a final full off-center rotation ratio of 12.57:1. This provides 2.54 turns lock-to-lock, providing the optimal initial response with a light feel that is useful in maneuvering and parking along with a firmer feel at highway speeds for added stability. In the low- to mid-speed range, the variable steering ratio has a uniquely linear gain, which makes Insight comfortable, predictable and confident to drive.
