Fake manual transmission is basically like playing a simulator.

I mean there are some electric cars with a "creep" feature to mimic the IC engine, where the vehicle will slowly move forwards in first with nothing depressed as it's being driven by the idling engine. This manual mode sounds over the top though.
Creep is a useful feature to turn on/off though, even if it's mimicking something.
But yeah, I think it's going to be an exciting time for a while as ideas and features are thrown around. Old conventions will die as new ones are born.
I think most cars will keep doing this since most people are so used to that behavior.
