I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in California, so taking a San Jose driver training course like the one Silicon Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driver training school like Silicon Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What if I don't know how to operate a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Silicon Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?

However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call Silicon Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their driver training course.

Each state has its own rules, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a driver training course plus either a defensive driving classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online defensive driving course. You may want to ask Silicon Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
