That's a strange example. An automatic transmission needs no human input at all. You put it in D, and leave it in D, until you stop driving most of the time. D

Did you mean manual transmissions?
- mikeash 10y agoIt's pretty common that you need to shift it to R. Nobody leaves it in D while backing out of a parking spot and then complains that the automatic transmission didn't do its job when they collide with the wall in front of them.
- icebraining 10y agoSure, when you want to indicate a different intention, you need to interact with it, but you don't need to keep watching over it in case it suddenly switches to R.
