Will the Gear Shift from D to N Directly During Emergency Braking?

During emergency braking, the gear can shift from D to N directly. Requirements for shifting between different gears in a car: Shifting from P to R or R to P requires pressing the shift lock and applying the brake. Shifting from R to N does not require pressing the shift lock or applying the brake. Shifting from N to R requires pressing the shift lock and applying the brake. Shifting from N to D requires pressing the shift lock and applying the brake. Shifting from D to S requires pressing the shift lock but does not require releasing the throttle or applying the brake. Shifting from S to D can be done directly without releasing the throttle or applying the brake. P gear should be used when the car is stationary: The vehicle must be completely stopped before using P gear; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. Additionally, automatic transmission vehicles are equipped with a neutral start switch, ensuring the engine can only be started in P or N gear to prevent sudden forward movement if the engine is accidentally started in other gears.
After driving for so many years, I have personally tested emergency braking situations multiple times. In an automatic transmission car, the gear will never jump directly from D to N just because of braking. The vehicle's automatic transmission system is designed to be very robust, with the brake pedal operation only responsible for deceleration and not affecting the gear shift mechanism. Unless the driver accidentally touches the gear shift lever or there is a mechanical failure in the car, such as a damaged electronic control module, there might be a gear jumping issue, but this is very rare. During normal driving, emergency braking will actually keep the car in D gear, helping you control the speed more safely. I recommend regularly checking the transmission fluid level and the gear shift lever connection to avoid any potential issues. Additionally, maintaining the overall upkeep of the vehicle is important, such as updating the computer firmware, which can prevent abnormal situations and make driving more reassuring.
