It's only "needed" for setting 0-60 times and other boy racer activities, but it would be nice to have. You can approximate it with brake/rev action but it's not 100% as it's a very small sweet spot before the car tries to outthink you.

I've often wondered, given the AT will do 0-60 in second rather than 3rd like the MT, how much closer it would be with launch control. As I recall, although I couldn't find it, the rolling start 05-60 tests of both AT and MT were very close around 7.7 seconds.
