So I was driving home today after a long day at work. Shifting between N, D and 2 as usual to maximize cruise and DFCO. I always knew it may eventually happen and it did today - I went into reverse going about 50km/h. To my surprise, nothing happened! It was only there for half a second before I realized it and shifted back into neutral, but the car didn't even make any kind of sound or hesitation. It was as if there was a protection mode and the car just continued to cruise.

This is a 1998 Toyota Corolla. Can anyone confirm that there is such a protection feature?
