This is a failed argument ad absurdum. Although google appears to have made good progress on a fully automatic drive car, it absolutely hasn't made one that can even keep up a novice pace on the twisty back canyon roads or at the track. Of course we can easily imagine a thought experiment where they did have one. No, everything fully automated would surely not be fun. That does not imply in any way that DCTs aren't quite a bit of fun. Of course, cars that can do either, drive conservative or quickly on a track would be a useful feature for some people some of the time.
