In which year did automatic transmission cars become popular in China?

[OJayden]

Automatic transmission cars became popular in China after 1950. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for constant gear shifting while driving, whereas manual transmission cars require continuous gear changes and clutch operation to adjust vehicle speed. Below is an introduction to automatic transmission features: 1. Acceleration: Pressing the accelerator pedal gradually increases the car's speed. 2. Manual Cruise: After stabilizing the speed, maintaining the accelerator pedal position keeps the car running at a steady speed, with minor adjustments possible based on road conditions to maintain a consistent pace. 3. Automatic Cruise: Once the speed is stable, activating the 'cruise control function' allows the driver to release the accelerator pedal, and the car will automatically maintain a constant speed. The function can be deactivated by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal again. 4. Gradual Deceleration: Gradually releasing the accelerator pedal results in a smooth speed reduction. 5. Emergency Deceleration: Releasing the accelerator pedal and pressing the brake pedal enables rapid deceleration.
