My 6MT vs Auto driving impression. Opinions please

I can't let a 7AT thread go by without commenting The 7AT is pretty awesome, but personally I don't buy the "learning" thing. The ECU does do some realtime self-tuning

The 7AT is pretty awesome, but personally I don't buy the "learning" thing.

The ECU does do some realtime self-tuning of the engine, and this does tend to "learn" a bit by homing in on previously-seen values, such that it will adapt to breathing mods, fuel grade changes, ambient/air temp changes, oil/coolant temp changes, etc.

But when it comes to user driving style, I don't think the ECU or especially the 7AT's TCM is doing any real learning. It's a myth. It's the driver who's doing the learning, adapting your brain and reactions to how the car likes to operate.
