What is 1/2 gears on an automatic car?

To go down hill

By setting L (or 1 or 2), the gear will stay low and you will be able to use engine brake, instead of using brakes all the way down the hill and suffering from fading. The transmission will not necessarily pick a lower gear when going downhill, although they will pick a low gear if you are going uphill.

Why do we only use one foot while driving?
