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.
I've driven a manual once - in a parking lot. Most of my driving has been in an automatic. I agree with this. I should have to press the "go" pedal to go, not just release the "stop" pedal. Thankfully, I now have an EV where I can choose to have it stop when I release the "go" pedal and not go again until I press the "go" pedal.
Most newer cars that have electronic parking brakes have an auto brake-hold feature that you can turn on. It keeps the car still when you depress the brake pedal a little deeper. Then the car won’t move when you release the brake and will only do when you step on the gas (or brake) again. It’s very useful at stop lights and drive thrus so you don’t have to keep your foot on the brakes all the time.
