Will an automatic transmission car move without pressing the accelerator when in gear?

An automatic transmission car will move without pressing the accelerator when in gear, because automatic cars do not have a clutch pedal. When the gear is shifted into a driving position, the clutch is already engaged, and without the resistance from the brakes, the car will naturally move forward slowly. An automatic transmission means there is no need to manually shift gears while driving; the automatic transmission control system selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. The advantage of an automatic transmission over a manual transmission is that it is easier to drive. Additionally, automatic transmissions include continuously variable transmissions (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear shifters. Currently, there are three types of vehicle transmissions: manual transmission, automatic transmission, and semi-automatic transmission.
