Are There Many Automatic Transmission Cars?

Nowadays, mid-to-high-end cars are basically automatic transmission or semi-automatic transmission vehicles, so there are many automatic transmission models. The following is an introduction to automatic transmission: Definition: As the name suggests, automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Types: Automatic transmissions include: hydraulic automatic transmission, hydrostatic drive automatic transmission, electric drive automatic transmission, stepped mechanical automatic transmission, and continuously variable mechanical automatic transmission, etc. The most common is the hydraulic automatic transmission. The hydraulic automatic transmission is mainly composed of a hydraulically controlled gear shifting system, which mainly includes an automatic clutch and an automatic transmission.
I've noticed that automatic transmission cars are absolutely dominating the market now! Driving school instructors told me that in recent years, over half of their students enroll for the C2 automatic transmission license. If you walk around a 4S dealership, you'll find 7-8 out of 10 new cars are automatic - even compact cars like the Fit primarily come with CVT versions. Last week when I accompanied a friend to check used cars, manual transmission options were pitifully scarce - at most 1-2 out of 10 cars available. Manufacturers simply can't be bothered with manual transmission models anymore - higher costs and poor sales. Not having to clutch with your left foot until it cramps in traffic jams is pure bliss, especially during rush hour when elevated roads turn into parking lots.
