Are Automatic Cars the Future

We are often asked ” are automatic cars the future ?”

The short answer is yes, they are.

Automatic cars are, when compared to those with a manual transmission, still quite rare in the UK. In the USA the position is completely reversed, which if you have ever visited the US, you would know. If you tried hiring a” stick change”vehicle, that would have found that quite a challenge for you.

However, current buying trends indicate that more and more people are opting for automatic transmission cars in the UK.

But why?

There are a good number of reasons, but not least is modern technology. Today’s automatic gearboxes are smart and deliver the engines power smoothly and efficiently, due to modern electronics. They are a far cry from the clunky old 3 speed gear boxes from the 70s and 80s, which were costly to maintain and inefficient.

Combine an economical auto car with the benefits of not having to continually depress a clutch to change gear in heavy traffic and you can see the attraction to buyers.

Buying and running a car with an automatic transmission is now much less expensive than in the past, due to  technological advancements. The cars are more reliable than ever, cheaper to maintain and are more fuel efficient.

Even learners are now being less influenced by peer pressure and opting to learn in an automatic car. It’s understandable, as learning to drive in an automatic costs less, is much easier and less stressful.

Are automatic cars the future? In the recent press article, it was stated ” nobody will be driving manual cars in 10 years“. This is not as bold a statement as it first appears. Climate change, political pressure, issues with fossil fuels and very recent advancement in battery technology, mean that electric cars will take over.
