isn't that the same as putting the handrake on and just driving off - what more assistance do you want

you mean having the handbrake on and driving away? with it still on? isn't it bad on the brakes? i would assume the correct way was controlling the brake and throtlle as you would do in a manual car with the clutch.
needless to say i have only driven manual cars until date.

MY06 releases automatically when you pull away too  2006 S/C Bonatti Grey, OEM Steps, LAND ROVFR Mud Flaps, Soft/Smooth steering wheel, 2010/11 HST Wheels.

My 55 plate S/C works the same, parking brake applied then it releases when you press the accelerator.
I think I have a problem with the park brake releasing on the rear drivers side wheel though as the brake, wheel and tyre heats up 50% hotter than the other 3 wheels. This is a speratic issue though. only seems to happen once a fortnight or so.
