There are still others where you could go either way, and see benefits and drawbacks from either transmission depending on your personal preferences and what you're buying the car to do.

As a society we are on the verge of self driving cars to get us everywhere, and many new cars have so much technology in them, you can't drive them and use the tech at the same time...at least not an old man like me. So I see why fun to drive cars where driving the car is the attraction will disappear in the next 25 years. It will lose out to the technology in terms of thing the operator would rather do. I don't know what percentage of the population can drive a manual anymore...but fast forward 25 years and the question will be can you drive a car that's not autonomous and it's likely going to be the same percentage.
