Yes, in the US but certainly not on other parts of the world. Only 10 years ago 9 out of 10 would drive a manual in most European countries. The past decade, however, auto transmissions have become a lot more popular here but in many countries you'll certainly not be handed a driver's license unless you did all your test driving in a manual.
