I use to argue with a coworker about this all the time. I find that driving manual makes you pay way more attention to driving than driving automatic.
When driving MT,you are more likely to be more engaged in driving do to the fact that all four limbs are active in the action of operating the vehicle. When driving AT,you have a free foot and hand. People usually end up eating,messing with the radio,putting on makeup,texting,ect.,which in turn leads to more opportunity to be less attentive because you are "riding" around more than actually "driving". That's my take,at least.
