As a cyclist, I fear that indeed, automatic requires less thinking, thus less concentration.
Are there studies on the frequencies of accidents based on manual vs. automatic?
- ajdude 4y agoI would be very interested in such a study. I have driven both autos and manuals and have noticed a distinct difference in focus when driving the latter. I feel more engaged with the roads and my environment. I also noticed that I've never fought to stay awake while driving a manual, and unfortunately this is the case with automatics. My previous and current cars are manuals, and I don't ever plan on buying an auto in the future. If my next car has to be a Miata or something, so be it.
- kamranjon 4y agoI always feel like the fighting to stay awake feeling is a consequence of the road, like a long boring highway. In this case, how is a manual any different than a automatic, being that you are in the highest gear and driving without needing to shift?
