The world would be a better and safer place to drive and be a pedestrian if there were no automatics. Might not have ever been so many cars and drivers on the road if automatics never came along. The driving world opened up to all with the advent of the automatic transmission. There have always been those who can not drive a manual, even back when that's all there was.
