It's sad that the manual is dying indeed.
I'm not one to spout off the canned psuedo-enthusiast anti-technology nonsense like you see on Jalopnik every day, but it's awful. Sports cars now require less and less driver involvement, and the little remaining involvement provides less feedback than ever before. Flappy-paddles and electronic traction/braking/suspension systems are great, but their practical application from a performance standpoint is purely for track performance. If all these advances are for quicker laptimes, why stop here? The technology is already out for cars to self-drive. I can guarantee you a self-driving computer system which can interface GPS data for track coordinates and weather conditions along with computer systems monitoring every single parameter can take a car around a track faster than any human with zero human input.
Is that too far?
