How many of your friends have told you about stalling, and how they hated it? In an automatic car you cannot stall, since there is no clutch, so when you come off the brake and press the accelerator, there’s no hesitation, you just go.
Simple enough in an automatic car, as soon as you move your foot from the brake to the gas, the car will move, no more constant clutch movement, putting on the handbrake and finding the biting point, you just calmly move your feet from one pedal to the other. Another benefit – no rolling backwards!
