Yeah but people don’t buy cars that often, and when they do it’s usually a used car. So you might need to wait a few more years to see that change in dynamic towards automatic (especially with electric).
I’m French and I’ve been driving for almost 14 years, and I’ve never used an automatic car, and my current car isn’t that old. So yeah it won’t be tha majority until a few years
I do the same, and yeah I just put everything in the bag, and I empty it at checkout,I usually don’t have that much stuff anyway. Never had an issue with that at the store
