CVT's (continually variable transmission) will take over for ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles. Nissan and Subaru have explored the avenues and provided decent versions so far.
I prefer a maual transmission also for many different reasons. You can reach the optimal power peak immediately or at the opposite the more frugal RPM.
Those days I'm learning and using hypermilage techniques to achieve better fuel consumption.
When EVs come, no transmission will be necessary. An electric motor has maximum torque at any speed from 1 to 30,000 RPM. I will miss the activity of sport driving though, that's the price of being responsible...
