Someone who learned to drive a manual transmission car can and will be able to drive an automatic transmission car. The specific differences between manual and automatic transmissions: Difficulty of operation: Automatic transmissions mainly rely on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to automatically shift gears, which even beginners with little knowledge of cars can quickly master. It involves less physical effort and is more convenient and relaxing. Manual transmissions primarily require the driver to manually operate the clutch to change gears, which is more complicated and demands higher driving skills from the driver. Therefore, it involves more physical effort and is more mentally taxing. Safety performance: Coasting in neutral with a manual transmission during turns can lead to risks such as understeer or oversteer. Additionally, if the engine stalls at idle, the car may lose power steering and braking assistance, increasing safety hazards while driving. Automatic transmission cars cannot be driven in neutral; they maintain power support throughout the entire journey, making driving safer.
