    a turn signal will soon be unnecessary with the advent of self-driving

    That’s like not including a stick for the manual transmission, because the automatic one is just around the corner.

    I wish I possessed this kind of optimism in my daily life :D

      I enjoy driving stick, but stick will likely not last forever. We will not be able to burn fossil fuels for that much longer in the grand scheme of things. Electric vehicles usually have a single speed transmission, so there are literally no gears to change. Perhaps there may be an alternative fuel vehicle that still has multiple speed transmission, in which case stick could still exist, though how many car manufacturers would make them?
