We have automatic transmissions to thank for this.
Almost gone are the days of cars and trucks rolling back 5 or 6 feet before taking off.
One good roll back would have broke her of tailgating stopped vehicles.
Yes and no. Been driving a stick most of my life learned how to take off on a hill without rolling back,(something about gas tank crushing boulders and a 3 foot drop 6 inches from your wheels will teach you good foot feet control).
