They aren't. Manual transmissions allow for much finer control of the power transfer between engine and transmission.

It used to be true that manuals had better gas mileage, but they're more or less even now, and have been for like a decade. Computers are just plain better now at detecting when a shift needs to happen than humans are.

If theyre in the US, they might not learn in driving school... Plus, in the US, our licenses allow us to drive either automatic or manual. We do have different licenses for motorcycles, trucks, and buses, though...

This is also true in Canada. Manual driving wasn't covered in my driver's ed course, and Canadian licenses include no transmission-based restrictions.
