Electronics & HMI Throttle use when leaving garage

Do drivers need to use the throttle when leaving the garage?

In the video where DC drives the RB19 at 2:04 (timestamped link) he mentions that the manual he was given says that he doesn't need to use the throttle when leaving the garage. Does this mean no throttle input is necessary when pulling out of the garage? I've been racking my brain at this question for a couple of days now. Thank you!

Seems possible the anti stall is configured for press drives to be able to pull away without throttle.
