It’s not the automatic transmission I hate. It’s the electronic handbrake that disengaged itself and made me nearly rear end a parked car because I had the audacity to put it in gear, or the lane assist that wanted me to drive into a brick wall and then later on through a hedge. Also touchscreen for everything. Just give me buttons.
Luckily my actual car only needs the touchscreen for me to change to media instead of radio, then I have buttons on a stalk for it. The handbrake is manual and it has no lane assist either.
Automatics are just scary cus I’ve never driven one. I’m sure they are going to be fine when I am pushed to buy a new car.
Electric parking brake is one of those modern “conveniences” I really hate. I want a physical lever that directly actuates a brake. It should work even in a catastrophic failure (so should the steering and regular brakes, but it should be a separate system)
