Like other parameters such as air/fuel ratio, it responds to pre-determined maps based on sensor inputs (ie. Engine load, RPM, speed, accelerator pedal position, coolant temp, etc.) and shift points are changed dynamically depending on what the ECM/PCM 'thinks' is the most efficient way to shift up or down.

Also, the reason you have low gears (1/L, 2, D3, etc.), aside from its other obvious uses, is to give the driver the option to engage engine braking if he deems it necessary. Otherwise, if you leave it in D, the A/T logic takes over all control and just rely on its own sensors to decide what to do.
