You would not tell the car to downshift when you are going faster, rather than when you want it to go faster but that was not the point I was making. I was saying,. on my auto car, I don't use the independent gears. For those who do, it's because they want to go faster or garner more power for slopes, terrain purposes. Also, in an automatic car that has independent gears but is not manumatic (such as mine), you actually shift the car to the gear specified, you do not "tell the computer" to do so.
