Manual transmissions have never had dipsticks. Differentials have never had dipsticks. And now we're entering an era when automatic transmissions don't have them either.

You gotta admit that hopefully this is not a trend. Eventually they'll have the know-how to rid the oil dipstick and pretty much everything else too. For those of us hands-on types that's a killler. Plus, the more the consumer loses the ability to upkeep their vehicles, the more you have to go to a professional. This equals money outta your pocket.
