I'd call it an American Anti-Theft Device. Outside of the US, most people are fully capable of driving with a gear shift.

I live in a European country, and that’s changing very quickly.

I just got back (to the US) from France, and I was pleasantly surprised that my little Renault rental was still a manual.

I mean automatic cars are getting much more common but I don't know a single person that has a diving licence that is only for automatic cars... sure a lot of people have restriction B197 in Germany (me included) but the ability to drive manual is still the norm.
