Should an automatic transmission car be started in P gear or N gear?

[JaxsonMarie]

Automatic transmission cars should be started in P gear. The P gear in automatic transmission cars evolved from the N gear, with the addition of an internal locking mechanism that enables mechanical locking of the vehicle, to some extent preventing the car from rolling. Starting the vehicle in P gear is considered standard practice. Automatic transmissions eliminate the need for drivers to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, and L. Using the parking gear (P), reverse gear (R), neutral gear (N), and drive gear (D) in an automatic transmission car can fully meet the needs of general driving. However, in some special driving environments, other functional gears may be required.
