Before long, electric cars and bikes going to roam the roads with required auto pilot on (only way to enforce dumb speed limits).
Regarding your comment about the auto box, I put over 10k miles on mine and while I don't expect to change your mind, I am fine with it in sport manual mode, it does not kill the fun of the N52. I initially would change it to full auto in traffic but when ever I stepped on it encountered unwanted hesitation/lag. Driving only in sport manual eliminates the lag and gives me control of being in any gear I want and when need to floor it, stays in gear, as does the manual box. Yes, if driving n52 stick is 100% fun, driving it in sport manual is close to it, say 95% fun. I suspect you'd like it. To sum it up, I am happy with my car, and yes, I'd be 5% happier with a stick
