The only real take away from that article is... converting energy to do work creates "exhaust". He turned it into a political discussion hidden within some stupid history lesson that may or may not be accurate; but more, it really missed the point regardless. It didn't take 50 years to convert from horses to cars.

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."
