Automatic transmission is s faster and better. I have driven both

MasterJayJay:

Don't assume. Go and make your research on google. Formula 1 cars are semi-automatic.

Brendaniel:
No, The major difference is take off, why do you think police and most transport drivers use manual, because you can get to your highest gear within a shorter distance than auto.

If a police man is driving an automatic and is chasing a thief using manual and they have to make so many turns from street to street, the police might never catch the thief, but if they enter a free expressway over a long distance without any stops then the possibility becomes higher for the police, because they will both exhaust their maximum gears.

Now this is where engine power will begin to really talk but most thieves prefer manual same with police....

ottajah:

I was even surprised to see that post that manual accelerates faster than automatic from rest..No be small what kind of engineer are you??
It could be Building engineer

blueghost:
The speed of a car, whether it's manual or automatic, primarily depends on the vehicle's engine, transmission, and other technical specifications, rather than the type of transmission itself. In other words, there is no inherent difference in speed between manual and automatic cars.

Bluffly:

Simply because manual doesn't have to wait for speed sensor to detect speed and communicate with brainbox before brainbox communicates with shift solenoids

gonkin:

The communication speed is actually faster in automatic. But still manual has more aggressive gearing than a torque converter that experiences some loss at higher rpms.

In Manual nearly 100% of the torque from the engine is translated to the wheel rotation
Ever wondered why its not advisable to tow with an automatic?

DaddyGngeess:
Are automatic cars use for car race?
