An automatic car is one where the car takes care of the gear changes for you. You only have to worry about acceleration/braking and steering. Using various parameters, the gearbox picks the right gear, eliminating the clutch and the process of manually selecting gears. Once a rarity, automatic cars are a mainstream offering now.
Modern automatic cars have evolved with different types of transmission, such as CVT, Torque Converter, Dual clutch automatic, etc. These gearboxes are now able to shift at lightning speeds and even offer the option of manual control using paddle shifters or trip tonic. They are also as efficient as their manual counterparts, making them a go-to choice for all car buyers across segments.
