Is it serious to accidentally shift into P gear while driving?

[McEmery]

It is not serious to accidentally shift into P gear while driving. The reasons are as follows: 1. Since the gear shifting of modern car transmissions is basically controlled by a computer, to successfully shift gears, it must go through the computer. 2. Therefore, when the wrong gear is engaged, the computer will judge it as an illegal operation and then refuse to execute the gear shift command. Information about the P gear is as follows: 1. P gear: It is the most common gear in automatic transmission models, generally located at the front position of the gear shift console, in front of the R gear. 2. Purpose: To achieve the locking of the axle when the car is stationary on a slope through the gear position. 3. Identification: The "P" in P gear comes from the first letter of the English word "park," so in the gears of automatic transmission cars, P gear is the identifier for the parking gear.
