You really have no clue how an automatic transmission works do you? The revs may drop to idle but it is still in gear.
It is not smart to have your car in Neutral (that is what the law is about) when driving on a public rode because you never know what is going to happen, and in a panic moment of the car was in gear and you need to get on the gas would you remeber that it is out of gear and not just step on teh gas?
