Computer facility in cars welcome (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

autosave

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'computer facility' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cars welcome' is the wordplay.
'cars' becomes 'autos' ('auto' can be a synonym of 'car').
'welcome' becomes 'ave' ('welcome' or 'farewell' - from Latin).
'autos'+'ave'='AUTOSAVE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for autosave that I've seen is " facility for forgetful authors?".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
