Technology has brought about the rise of the automatic transmission. In the past, manual transmissions had the advantage of being cheaper to purchase, as well as having better gas mileage. Now, the automatic transmission is challenging these advantages.
Features
Advances in science have bolstered the amount of miles per gallon that an automatic consumes. Originally, this was a key selling point for manual transmissions. But now, automatics are beginning to have better mileage overall, negating the advantage of the manual transmission.
Considerations
In the past, a manual transmission option cost less than a comparable automatic transmission option. Now, they are about $250 more than an automatic transmission.
Significance
Automatics are beginning to surpass manuals when it comes to speed abilities. The ability to control the shifting with the manual was an advantage so that speeds could pick up more quickly than a slower gear switching automatic transmission. Now, automatic transmissions can shift faster than the human hand manually shifting.
