What is the purpose of paddle shifters in cars?

[SophieLynn]

The function of paddle shifters is to allow the driver to shift gears directly on the paddles without taking their hands off the steering wheel, eliminating the need to press the clutch pedal. Paddle shifters are a quick-shifting device installed for semi-automatic clutches in cars. Vehicles equipped with paddle shifters must have a manual-automatic transmission, and the transmission is essentially still an automatic transmission, but it enhances driving operability to some extent. Precautions for using paddle shifters: When the engine reaches the RPM limit of the current gear, some transmissions will not automatically upshift. To prevent engine overspeed, when reaching the RPM limit, be sure to upshift or reduce power output; otherwise, there is a risk of engine damage. When driving on slippery surfaces, avoid sudden acceleration in low gears, as it may cause the vehicle to skid or the wheels to spin. In D (Drive) mode, do not use paddle shifters casually to avoid inadvertently entering temporary manual mode and suddenly changing the vehicle's driving state.
