Automatic vehicles are very easy to drive and that is why automakers are adding new cars one after the other with automatic gearbox. In past few years the craze of automatic cars has been increased in Indian market.Β These cars are comfortable, convenient and very easy to drive.
In an automatic transmission system, there are typically two pedals – the accelerator (gas) pedal and the brake pedal. The driver simply needs to use these pedals to control the speed of the car, and the transmission system takes care of shifting gears as needed.
Additionally, automatic transmissions often have a “park,” “reverse,” and “neutral” position, allowing the driver to easily maneuver the vehicle without engaging the engine directly.
Advantages of automatic cars include ease of use, especially in heavy traffic or during city driving, as the driver does not have to constantly shift gears.
This can make driving more comfortable for some individuals, particularly those who are new to driving or have physical limitations. However, some drivers prefer manual transmissions for the increased control they offer, especially in certain driving conditions.
