The point I am seeing made is that whether the transmission uses clutches or a torque converter is irrelevant to how the driver operates it. Regardless of what type of transmission your car has, if it doesn't have a clutch pedal, the following are true:
- In auto mode, you just hit the gas and go and the electronics choose the gear for you.
- In manual mode, you have to shift. (Though in some implementations the electronics will upshift for you when you hit redline. And in all implementations the electronics will downshift for you if the engine reaches stall speed)
