I'm not sure a "driver" in a vehicle with Augmented driving could be any more distracted than some of the people I've seen using cell phones and other devices while on the road. Then there's the case of a woman cruising down the highway in her new motor home on vacation. She decided she was hungry, and set the cruise control to go back to the kitchen and fix herself a snack. Somehow she survived, enough to hire an ambulance chaser.

That said, I acquired my ninth car last year, all with manual transmission. I like the involvement with the driving task, and at this point have no intention of replacing the current ride with one having automatic transmission.
