As a classically trained driver I’ve found automatics make people drive worse because they have to think less. And they already barely think.
I’ve actually observed the opposite. Automatics leave more brain cells to focus on traffic.
“Self driving” cars on the other hand…
They use them to focus on their phones, not the road
What the fuck is a “classically trained driver”?
Didn’t go to one of those lousy postmodern driving schools I think
He was taught by the same institute that taught Beethoven to drift.

Like Robert Wells or Bill Nye.

Manual is hell for people with back or knee issues.
Person with back and knee issues here: worth it to not have to deal with a slushbox that won’t downshift when I need it to. I’ll never give up my manual.
Eh, automatic cars will let you go into “manual” mode in which you tell it when to switch the gears. Mildly useful for steep hills to stop it from switching back and forth in some rare scenarios.
Not every automatic has that. Not to mention that there tends to be input lag when you hit the paddle, and there’s the fact that they won’t hold a gear when you need them to (instead they tend to automatically upshift right before redline). Manual mode is no substitute for a real manual.
