Edit: Do not worry, @Tcoat for I am here to bring this back to OT

What if... we start a website that connects Japanese and Americans so we can trade parts?

I said I would leave this thread, but this is directed at me, and pissed me off, so I will answer.

I am talking about starting from a standstill on a steep incline. As in very steep.

I've never encountered red lights or stop signs in such steep inclines. So no, not what I'm talking about.

No, it's as old as the handbrake. Been used since before the combustion engine was invented.
I used to drive big rigs in the mountains of Norway. So don't take me for a fool who can't drive, ok. That pisses me off.

Not saying you can't drive, as other have said the key word from the OP was is it NECESSARY, and the answer is no. It is preferable in certain situations yes, but not a necessity (some cases excluded). if steep incline you mean country mountain type roads than I will concede my point. Trolling out of control averted k thanks

I'm actually studying to be a personal trainer and have never touched alcohol. So I'll have the one good liver in the state

Ya me too but I am too far into it to gracefully back out at this point.
I would like to think that I will just stay away from the next version of it to pop up but we all know that ain't gonna happen.
