Can anyone provide a good technical description of what each of these systems does and how each system accomplishes its mission?

AH is much more complex. It takes input from the lateral G sensors, the steering angle sensor, and the wheel speed sensors. It calculates whether the car is tracking as it is being commanded. If it isn't, it tries to correct by modulating the ABS brakes on individual wheels, it may also command the ECM to reduce power.
