Is it appropriate to use one foot or two feet for an automatic transmission?

It is appropriate to use two feet for an automatic transmission. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission: 1. Avoid coasting in N (neutral) gear: Experienced manual transmission drivers often coast in neutral to save fuel. While coasting in neutral may contribute to fuel efficiency in manual transmissions, it is important to note that automatic transmissions must not be coasted in N gear. 2. Avoid emergency gear shifting: When shifting gears in an automatic transmission, always ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before changing gears (especially for reverse and P (park) gears). Otherwise, it can severely damage the transmission. The transmission's solenoid valves control the flow of transmission fluid to enable forward and reverse movement. Shifting gears before the vehicle has fully stopped can abruptly alter this flow, causing shock to the transmission. Over time, this can lead to transmission failure.
