I've driven automatics for about 25 years now. I won't willingly go back to manual. In town, who wants a clutch. On the motorway it makes no difference. That leaves country roads where the automatic box may get the wrong gear, likewise steep downhill. Though my last couple of cars with VW group DSG boxes have got it right almost all the time.

Under horrible slippy conditions such as ice it's nice when pulling away with a manual to engage 2nd and dump the clutch occasionally but moden traction control looks after that situation almost as well.

Electrics usually have no gearbox and hybrids are automatic by their nature.
