My vote is to let me know what is going on with the vehicle.
With an ICE car I am not going to try to remain stationary on a hill or the clutch will burn.
With the electric car on a hill, wouldn't it also be better to take the foot off the throttle and onto the brake?
Thanks

While I agree a little with what you are saying, I don't think the intent is to try and make it silky smooth as much as just very drivable, If people got a speed control that took off like a teenage girl try to learn how to drive a stick for the first time, it would turn off a lot of people from doing EV conversions.
I know when it spills my coffee on me I would say really bad words....
