What is an "automatic"?
An automatic is a vehicle that changes gears by itself without the driver needing to manually shift them. In this type of vehicle, the car automatically adjusts the gears based on speed and engine power, allowing the driver to focus only on steering and controlling the speed with the gas and brake pedals. Automatics are generally easier to drive than manuals because they do not require the driver to use a clutch or shift gears. Many people prefer automatics for their convenience and simplicity, especially in heavy traffic.
