I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

    It’s not a “problem” it’s just one of those little things that are safer with an auto.

    But it depends a lot on the driver. I see lots of distracted drivers using their phone, I don’t matter what transmission they have if they don’t appreciate the power they are wielding by driving a car.

      except it’s a little thing that is still not safer with an auto. Weigh that nothing burger against the much, much bigger problem of distraction.

      It’s harder to wield a phone with a manual, as well.

      A manual is a constant reminder of the thing you are doing.
