Essential car controls include the automatic gears
These tutorials explain how to use the automatic gears; from the gear lever to the various letters and numbers
During your first driving lessons, you’ll need to understand how the handbrake or parking brake work
What are the hand controls on a car?
Your car’s hand controls include the steering wheel, gear selector lever and the handbrake or parking brake
Here we explain the various steering wheel hand positions that you can use for learning to drive along with what the examiner is looking for on the driving test
What is an automatic car?
According to State Farm, an automatic car is an automobile with an automatic transmission that doesn't require a driver to shift gears manually
Transmissions, also known as gearboxes, help to direct the rotational force and speed of a car
Therefore, automatic transmissions switch gear ratios as the vehicle moves
Categories of cognitive processing
\nAutomatic and controlled processes (ACP) are the two categories of cognitive processing. All cognitive processes fall into one or both of those two categories. The amounts of processing power, attention, and effort a process requires is the primary factor used to determine whether it's a controlled or an automatic process. An automatic process is capable of occurring without the need for attention, and the awareness of the initiation or operation of the process, and without drawing upon general processing resources or interfering with other concurrent thought processes. Put simply, an automatic process is unintentional, involuntary, effortless, and occurring outside awareness. Controlled processes are defined as a process that is under the flexible, intentional control of the individual, that the individual is consciously aware of, and that are effortful and constrained by the amount of attentional resources available at the moment.
Autonomous car-maneuvering system
Automatic parking is an autonomous car-maneuvering system that moves a vehicle from a traffic lane into a parking spot to perform parallel, perpendicular, or angle parking. The automatic parking system aims to enhance the comfort and safety of driving in constrained environments where much attention and experience is required to steer the car. The parking maneuver is achieved by means of coordinated control of the steering angle and speed which takes into account the actual situation in the environment to ensure collision-free motion within the available space.
Automatic Performance Control (APC) was the first engine knock and boost control system. The APC was invented by Per Gillbrand at the Swedish car maker SAAB. external text>U.S. Patent 4,372,119
Unpowered railway or tramway car with a driver's cab
A control car, cab car, control trailer, or driving trailer is a non-powered rail vehicle from which a train can be operated. As dedicated vehicles or regular passenger cars, they have one or two driver compartments with all the controls and gauges required to remotely operate the locomotive, including exterior locomotive equipment such as horns, bells, ploughs, and lights. They also have communications and safety systems such as GSM-R or European Train Control System (ETCS). Control cars enable push-pull operation when located on the end of a train opposite its locomotive by allowing the train to reverse direction at a terminus without moving the locomotive or turning the train around.
System that automatically controls the speed of a motor vehicle
Cruise control is a system that automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the throttle of the car to maintain a steady speed as set by the driver.
