In complicated traffic situations, unfamiliar surroundings, or poor weather conditions (e.g., heavy rain, snow, or fog), manual gear changing can distract car drivers to such an extent as to create situations that are difficult to control. This also applies to the annoying, incessant process of engaging and disengaging the clutch when driving in stop-and-go traffic. Automatic transmissions with electronic control assist drivers in these and other traffic situations so that they can concentrate fully on the road conditions and what is happening around them.
