It's not that I like manuals, it's that I hate automatics randomly shifting and accelerating/slowing down randomly because of it.
It might not be as big an issue in bigger engines cars though, not driven anything bigger than a 1L engine in over a decade.
Looking forward to a direct drive electric car (with customisable acceleration profiles - even better!)
Have any of the tech media done any work on which generations get improvements from this? Zen 4&5 sure, but what about earlier chips?
