Think of it like walking and riding a Segway. I've driven a manual thru LA and Dallas traffic for 27 years. It's not hard, as I don't really know any different. I've driven my wife's automatics, I tend to kick the shit out of the brake pedal at inopportune times.

No doubt that DCT's are faster, more efficient and more complex. I just don't want one, same as plenty of people don't want my Luddite transmission.

And to counter all that, I'm looking forward to fully automated cars. Most drivers are so poorly engaged now I'd welcome the chance to remove all of us from the dangerous game of commuting. Leave actual driving to back roads and race tracks.
