Us (Arizona) yes I can, though I haven’t in some years because my wife won’t, and we don’t need 2 cars… But I ride a motorcycle so I do get to handle a clutch still.

It’s not half a century ago, more like 10-15 years. Basically the old style with 3-4 speeds and a torque converter wasted power, and I still had one of those (brand new) from '06 to '09. Most automatics now have mostly the same innards as a manual, often a 6 speed, but with automatic actuators.
