    Never had that problem, but I do hate it that automatics start going when you lift the break rather than when you press the gas (and engage the clutch).

      An automatic car has no clutch; automatic transmissions aren’t just manual transmissions that do the work for you. It has a thing called a torque converter which is kind of a hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor in one unit which allows the engine to deliver torque and yet still slip.
