It comes down to this: It’s simpler to drive automatic. We (humans) have invented a better car technology. I actually find it interesting that Europe and many Americans prefer manual transmissions when there is a much simpler and easier option. It’s a rare instance where a more complicated, older technology survives like this.

And yes, I know manual transmissions have better mileage and can go faster. But it seems like a mediocre trade-off for having extra work while driving.
