Are All Cars Automatic Now?
1 Answers
Most cars today are automatic, but there are still a few manual transmission vehicles available. Here is some relevant information about automatic transmission cars: 1. Introduction to Automatic Transmission Cars: These vehicles typically use an automatic transmission (AT) to regulate speed. While driving, the automatic transmission's control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting. 2. Operational Characteristics of Automatic Transmission Cars: In modern automatic transmission cars, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal. The computer analyzes signals such as engine throttle opening and vehicle speed collected by various sensors to automatically control gear shifting or engage different gears. Generally, automatic transmissions result in some power loss from the engine.
