Q re car rolling backwards in Drive (motor running) on sloped driveway
I've noticed a couple times now that my 99 A8 will roll backwards in Drive with the motor runing while sitting on my sloped driveway. Only seems to do it after the trans is warmed up (like after driving the 10 miles home from work). Won't do it when cold, like when first started.
Anything to be significantly concerned about?
Here's the slope of the driveway.

It depends on the slope. My car does roll back while in D on slight slopes but on steep
slopes the car does not move. I guess Audi has some sort of hold feature depending on the slope of the ascent/decent.
