Snap is that feeling you get when a train is braking and comes to a halt. The breaking force suddenly falls of, which is noticeable.
In general, snap shows how smoothly the acceleration occurs. This allows anything that flexes (like flesh) to slowly take-up the slack.
I've also heard this is important for self-driving convoys. You want the cars in the convoy to all accelerate and brake smoothly rather than jostle all the things inside them.
