For those who don’t understand these words, I’ll translate: driving a motor vehicle (car, truck, van, or other) with a manual-shift or stick-shift transmission.
In an automatic transmission vehicle, you have steering, gas, and brakes. The car itself decides automatically which gear to be in based on several conditions. This is the form of driving to which most are accustomed.
The rest of us can actually drive.

Yes, when temperature management was a proper skill. Now we drive cars with such sufficient cooling systems they never overheat! Imagine, just putting it in gear and driving through to your destination, no matter the conditions or duration. And fuel management! Gas stations everywhere? A fuel gauge? A range calculator? So lazy. Whenever that commenter grew up was the absolute peak of skill. laughs in horse mechanic
