I don’t understand why everyone chooses auto instead of manual
Besides that it's the easy way, you don't need to learn anything to drive an auto, one of the main reasons I always hear is: "Auto is much better in traffic".
And I think that is a really stupid reason. Instead of switching from manual to auto, you should find a way to not waste hours of your life in traffic. Choose a different route. Drive an hour earlier/later to not be in a rush hour. Find another job.
But I’ll tell you the main reason why I’d choose manual over auto any car any day. Safety.
Did you know that you have a much higher chance of dying in a car crash than in a plane crash? It has been proven many times by various statistics. By the way, pedestrian fatalities in the US also have been rising since the 2010s (https://www.planetizen.com/news/2019/07/105095-us-pedestrian-fatalities-rise-while-european-pedestrian-fatalities-fall).
It’s literally safer to fly planes than simply driving.
So if I’m going to drive, I want to have full control over the car. I want to be focused on driving. And if there’s a dangerous situation - I want to have the ability to control my car 100%. I want to have the ability to speed up as much as needed when I push the throttle. Not what the automatic system decides for me.
And if I’m going to make a mistake, if I’m going to crash, that will be my sole mistake. Not because the automatic transmission was limiting my driving in any way.
I feel that the laziness and stupidity of the majority are the main reasons why cars are turning into giant smartphones on wheels. I don't like this trend at all.
