Jaguars using CAN report their current draw and support a current control mode.

If you using PWM, you don't have access to the internal current sensor and need to find torque by some other path, such as an external current sensor or `Hawiian Cadder`s method.

Ah, that makes sense, I was assuming he was saying you couldn't do it with CAN, my mistake.
