Side Effect
Launch control can help user to have a greater speed when it starts to move. However, what usually happens is slipping. Slipping will lead to a time delay which static friction of driving wheel is zero and car is at a standstill. Also, because of starting at a high revolving speed of wheel gear, damage of wheel gear is huge. As the driving wheel is slipping, damage of driving wheel is unavoidable which μ of driving wheel will be changed to a smaller number. When launch control starts, the instant force is powerful that driver can hardly hold steering wheel which is dangerous. Some countries and areas rank launch control to dangerous driving.

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or effect:
“Like man and wife who nightly keep
Inconsequent debate in sleep
As they dream side by side.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
