An automobile’s differential is a mechanical group of simple planetary gears which take the torque from the engine and transfer it to the wheels. If you turn a corner, the outer wheels need to turn further and rotate faster than the wheels onto the inside. The differential is exactly what lets the drive wheels to turn at different rates while supplying torque to wheels.
To get this done, the differential uses a collection of gears that may rotate compared to another. Without the differential your tires would jump and slip as you turn.
