I don’t like my car doing anything I didn’t explicitly tell it to, or not doing what I do he’ll it to, like not downshifting when it’s time to downshift.

I agree, that’s why we need to violently harm those who would violently harm us, our loved ones and others like us and our loved ones.

I enjoy driving, so I drive a manual. People who don’t enjoy driving, or who merely drive because there’s no other alternative, should not drive a manual.

That being said, nobody should drive a tesla.
