Are they building non-“manual” cars that are noisy and polluting? I’ve never seen the term “manual car” yet, but I’m assuming it means a non-self-driving car, which already includes many electric options.
I haven’t driven a car in about 2 years, now, and I’ve tried to keep up with the news of self-driving developments (and snake oil), but I still think we’ll still see self-driving cars long before we see the ability to remove cars from the equation completely.
They mean human operated vehicles. And Waymo has made significant progress towards fully autonomous vehicles. The whole “humans are actually driving,” thing was misrepresented. Basically the humans were customer support when the vehicle ran into a situation like, “the end of the road is blocked for construction. A U-turn is required but is also a traffic violation.”

Kumbaya.
They mean not automatic. A car that you need to work the gears. A normal car in most places.
