All of these people responding that they prefer auto so they can eat or otherwise not pay attention in the car are the best (only?) argument for why everyone should drive manual.

Whatever your transmission preference is, if you're not engaged in driving you shouldn't be on the road!

This is why I trust motorcyclists more than cars. A manual doesn't change this problem, a motorcycle does.

Ah yes those trustworthy cyclists going 30mph above the speed limit while weaving through traffic

That's a different problem (that doesn't really exist where I live)
