I have no clue as to what might have been the cause of the smoke, but any time a car smokes you have a significant current or pending problem. I would get it to your mechanic ASAP.
You can tell a good deal about the source if you know what different fluids smell like when they burn or vaporize. Coolant has a sweet smell. Oil smells like, well oil. I don't know what transmission or brake fluid smells like. If it smells like burning plastic then I would inspect the engine bay for deformed and charred parts.
Get it checked as soon as you can. If you wait, and continue to drive it, you could end up with bigger problems in short order.
Good luck.
