You can eat and not pay attention with a manual transmission, I don't know why we'd pretend you can't. If you're just on the highway cruising both are just going to be in one gear all the time.

Either way, the problem is that people have to drive even if they don't want to engage. The popularity of automatic transmissions proves that (to most Americans at least) cars are an appliance and something people do because they have to. Fuck cars.
