in fact with an automatic you can do almost anything. Eat a sandwhich, read a book, put on a shirt, anything!
Eeeh, this is possible in stick-shift-cars, too. It's just a question of training
I've done all these things, too, also changing a jeans while driving. There are hundreds of thousands European parents, who have been able to slap their nasty children on the back seats while driving stick-shift-cars.
And if you are trained better, you can use the stick-shift with the left hand (in RHD-cars with the right one). funny to see the faces of your passengers, if you grab through the steering wheel to use the wiper-swith with the left hand or the indicator-switch with the right one.
More tricky it's to use the gas- and brake-pedals with the left foot. This is not easy.
At my army-time, on a long-distance-tour along the Autobahn with my famous Bundeswehr-VW T3-Transporter (Diesel, 55 hp, max.speed 103 km/h) I used a kind of "mechanic" cruise-control, founded by the German-WW II-soldiers in the desert-war in Northern Africa, also used in the Russian steppe: just lay a brick on the gas pedal.
