    You’d be surprised at how good the tech in modern cars is.

    In addition, another thing rarely mentioned, automatic transmission works better with automatic security features, making them a safer choice.

    Here in Norway they plan to phase out teaching just manual transmission entirely due to these reasons. In the future, if you want a driver’s license, you will get taught automatic at least.

      The other reason is likely that electric cars are all automatic, teaching people manual would be extremely redundant since Norway will be phasing out ICE vehicles relatively soon.
