Imagine driving an automatic and claiming to be a thinker. Am I right, fellow boomers?

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 32 points 5 months ago

Here's a thought: do electric cars count as automatic or the most manual cars possible? On the one hand, there's no clutch or stick shift, but on the other hand, if you want to change gears, you have to disassemble the transmission and change out the gears.

Or you buy one of these.

Paddle shifters behind the Genesis GV60's steering wheel – previously used only for controlling the electric motors' regenerative braking – allow drivers to change imaginery 'gears' (most electric motors have only one gear).

Each simulated gear change is accompanied by a small jolt in the power delivered by the electric motors, and a change in the computer-generated sound the car produces.

Combine that with the stupid piped-in engine noise (through the sound system) and you can make anyone feel right at home in last century's technology.

the adult version of kids putting playing cars on their bikes to sound like motorbikes

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

If it doesn't change gears it's not an automatic. It just is.

[-] apocalypticat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

depends on what your definition of is is

Idk, a lot of electric cars are two-speed automatics these days.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Boomers? Thats more like the silent generation....

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Nah, it is just Germans (and most of the rest of Europe, I guess).

Better learn how to drive a manual if you ever plan free thinking over here.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Indeed. I am European and made my comment from a European perspective. I forget that the Americans stopped thinking long ago, am I right, fellow European boomers?

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Ok, gen X:er

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Jokes on you, car in front is really a large truck sporting a large ramp and I'm about to do a cool stunt jump and finally get my achievement for all the jumps.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 5 months ago

Imagine not even being able to accelerate when you want to.

Everyone thinks they choose when to turn, but they didn't pave the roads.

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I speed up.
Unrelated, can someone drive me to work tomorrow?

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Sure, but we'll have to take the bus.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

If ur smol enuf I'll take you on my moped. I'll probably have to pedal up the hills.
