When you get your drivers license in Sweden you have to take the driving test (so basically you need to learn to drive) with a manual gearbox. You can get a license using an automatic but then your license isn’t valid for vehicles with manual gearbox. The “real” license requires using a manual. Given how few new cars are sold with manual gearboxes these days, not to mention EVs, I suspect this law is about to change soon.
