...either by hand or automated ?
Surprising amount of people that don’t and then probably moan that their mirrors get hit.
I’m a yes at all times

Car does it automatically. It's a wide car and I have seen the price of the driver side auto dimming mirror glass (£300) so I am not stopping it from doing so!
I also fold them in manually at certain points on my drive home after having idiots clip them coming onto my side of the road round bends too fast or not giving way when I already in a narrow bit
OH doesnt bother with the freelander. Old car, none-painted mirrors that you can pick up cheap on ebay and one already with cracked glass and a dodgy motor (from being hit) so she would prefer someone clipped the mirror than went down the side of the car. And it is a manual operated electric fold so she would forget anyway.

The mirrors on my next car will fold in automatically and also do that thing where they point to the kerb when reversing.

my E class does that. Just one of the little things that car does that I love.
But you do have to have the mirror on that side selected on the adjuster for it to do it. Remembers the position for each seat memory setting too.
Another little thing is the steering wheel raising up when you take the key out to let you get out easier.

I always fold mine in, there are to many people out there who don't respect other people's cars especially when parking

Never thought i would, but current (lease) car has electric, heated, auto-dimming, puddle light, indicating mirrors whic i imagine would cost the same as my entire previous car to replace. for the sake of a "long plip", yep i fold them in when parked!
Typing this has made me think 2 things - superficially - its annoying that the puddle lights dont come on when theyre folded. Secondly - whose idea was it to put some much tech and potential expense into the most sticky outy and vulnerable part of the car?

Company motor does it itself so yes.
Previously, when it had to be done manual like, no.

I'm no fan of unnecessary complication in a car or of a car that's too big. But mine does have electrically folding mirrors which are very handy for the narrow lanes round here because of the cars' excessive size, oh bugger..

Yes, because I don't trust other people not to bloody hit them.

Never had one hit (saying that I'll get them all smashed off now )
Very rarely fold the ones on the big van in.
The new partner auto folds. Can take it or leave it

in all my years of driving i have lost one wing mirror not clipped in and that was in the last few months to act of vandalism - a kick judging by the mud
Some tape sorted it as its so old it has linkage to the inside to adjust it so it broke the plastic not the entire thing
IF i could automatically probably manually not a **** chance

Having had one clipped by a dumper truck recently, I can assure you that replacing glass in a heated mirror involves much swearing. And elastoplasts.
