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:
“But how do the poor minority fare? Perhaps it will be found that just in proportion as some have been placed in outward circumstances above the savage, others have been degraded below him. The luxury of one class is counterbalanced by the indigence of another. On the one side is the palace, on the other are the almshouse and “silent poor.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The first general store opened on the ‘Cold Saturday’ of the winter of 1833 ... Mrs. Mary Miller, daughter of the store’s promoter, recorded in a letter: ‘Chickens and birds fell dead from their roosts, cows ran bellowing through the streets’; but she failed to state what effect the freeze had on the gala occasion of the store opening.”
—Administration in the State of Sout, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
