That's the thing with automatic ICE cars, you mostly don't need to control which gear you're in.

If you pass the gas pedal deeply enough, it will shift down automatically to provide the required/requested torque, e.g. when making a pass around a car on the motorway.

They also have gear modes that limit the upper gear to first, second, third, etc, so you can tow stuff, or get out of a ditch, or snow, e.g.

Auto cars are so comfortable, honestly. You just press the pedal and that's it. If you need control on the off chance, it's also still available in different ways. 👍
