I'm a ride-hailing driver who spends over ten hours a day on city roads, so manual transmission cars have long been out of the question. With traffic being so congested nowadays, constantly pressing the clutch and shifting gears would be exhausting. Automatic transmissions are much more convenient—just step on the gas or brake. Young people learning to drive also prefer automatics; driving schools can hardly recruit students for manual transmission classes anymore. Plus, modern cars come with high-tech features like automatic parking and adaptive cruise control, which simply can't be paired with manual transmissions. Manufacturers are smart too—mainstream models now mostly offer automatic versions only, even taxis are switching to automatics. This trend ultimately reflects societal progress—everyone wants a more hassle-free driving experience.
