99% of people want just that. a -> b with a level of safety, fuel efficiency, comfort and a cell phone to distract them. Nobody wants to be constantly pumping the clutch in slow traffic on a daily commute. I have an automatic, and it’s perfect for DD. We also have a small, 6-cyl with a standard, and that car is a ton of fun for evenings out and weekends. I wouldn’t want to make myself or the car suffer in a metro area traffic jam moving at a snail’s pace.
That was just a sarcastic addition based on people not caring about or paying attention to/how divorced they are from driving and the driving experience.
Trolling or sad child?

Short of actual full self driving which doesn’t presently exist why do you think your cell phone is part of your commute?

Because the ideal commute doesn’t involve driving, it involves me reading Lemmy on my phone while the car drives me to work.
Or, ideally, just me riding my bicycle, but that’s unrealistic where I live.
