If I’m in drive on a hill, how am I able to stay stationary by just applying a little gas?

The gears in the transmission aren’t actually turning, so why does a little gas keep me from rolling back but also not going forward?

Your transmission is still engaged if your foot is on the gas peddle, meaning it’s not in neutral. Also, this is a great way to overheat your automatic transmission and increase wear and tear on it. It’s best to let off the gas peddle and apply your break if you are stopped on a hill.
