automatics

No clutch pedals

Automatics is the plural of automatic, referring to devices or machines that operate without continuous human control.

Most often it means automatic firearms—guns that continue firing while the trigger is held: The soldiers carried automatics.

It also applies to cars with automatic transmission: I only drive automatics.
