I dont understand why people think shifting would be 'a hassle'
I do daily driving like every other person but I never thougth 'oh no.... not shifing... again....!.
I see it like braking or steering. That doesnt seem like a hassle to me either, so I dont see why an automatic is better. It doesnt come unrelaxing to me etc. Its only done when accelerating or braking.
Do people who think automatics are better for daily driving also think with each corner: oh no, now I have to turn the steering wheel! ?

I also dont think an automatic is better for daily driving. Only just now automatics start to somewhat read the road ahead based on GPS info, which is something every learing driver already knows how to do. Let alone that an automatic gearbox can anticipate on traffic in front or trafficlights. As long as automatics dont have real eyes, they're not as competent as a human driver in predicting gears/predictive driving. I guess thats one of the reasons why automatic gear selection is never used in racing.
