I get called a Luddite when I discuss autonomy and EVs on the Forum, but while the tech of making a car drive itself gets discussed quite often, what I've not seen is the Industry/Government plan to SAFELY transition to full autonomous vehicles (Level 5), as well as the financial, legal, and societal transition plans. It all sounds great and technically possible perhaps, but where is the plan?

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
