Not to my knowledge for a system that proactively monitors driver input versus the behavior of the car and leverages VSC and the electric power steering to adjust the vehicle to the driver's intended course.
Works great on my RX and IS especially this winter. There were times when the vehicles were just starting to skid when suddenly feels like an external force is pushing the car back into a straight line.

this is an interesting video i remember watching a few years ago. He does a test with just ABS, then ABS with VSC, and then VDIM which combines everything. I believe the LS460 debuted with VDIM in 2007....before that all Lexus cars just had VSC and TRAC
I can't find another video of the LS460 in a comparison with the S class 4 matic and the bmw 7xi and the LS won because of its VDIM. It was on a wet metal circuit/skid pad
