Sorry if it seems like dumb question, I did google it but it makes 0 sense to me. I’m only just getting into cars and someone mentioned something called shift assist.
The message they sent for context if that helps:
> Well driving standard now is way easier than when I was younger lol apparently they have shift assist so you don’t stall as easily or something like that
Edit: thank you everyone for all the answers! As a baby car enthusiast, I really appreciate and am enjoying the variety of answers I’ve gotten. I’ve learnt a lot already and it hasn’t even been 24 hours.

If you’re talking about what I think you are, it’s basically a sensor within the cars many computers that uses various metrics in your car’s performance to determine when you need to shift gears to avoid stalling. The computer can tell what RPM your car is experiencing, among other things, and then it signals to you on the dash with an action you need to take. For example, say you were in 4th gear and your RPMs began to go down. The computer would sense this and light up the “downshift” indicator light on your dash. Downshifting into a lower gear would then raise your RPMs and your car would continue running.
