I was idling in line for about 5 minutes waiting for food at mcdonalds. Transmission was in drive. Once served, I started to drive away but car shuttered and stopped abruptly. Apparently transmission will automatically shift to park after idling for several minutes even if it has started to move forward 1 or 2 MPH. What would have happened if I was traveling faster when it shifted to park? Is this feature a governmental requirement? Why?
