What, you don't want to shift gears endlessly while stuck moving between 10 mph and a dead stop on the freeway for three hours?

Hear me out for a second...

Maybe, just maybe, it's spending 3 hours in stop and go traffic that's the problem, not the transmission.

I think cars may have something to do with traffic but not sure.

There are correlations sure, but I'm not aware of any studies proving a causal link between cars and traffic.

I could just as plausibly say that 95% of cars in traffic have automatic transmissions. And so, just speculating here, but if they all switched to manual transmissions, we may see a significant reduction in traffic.
