Deck revealed - including ambush cards

It is possible for everyone to know which card there are left in the deck. In real life game it would be not too hard to remember which cards are remaining in the deck - at least I can do that in card games with 52 cards.
If the cards remaining in the deck would be open infrormation for everyone - including the number of ambush cards - then automatic auto-pass would be an obvious solution when both sides know that there is no ambush cards available.
If this is considered undoable, the there could be auto-pass if no ambush cards in the deck and(or auto-pass if the other player has the auto-pass on as well features.
I am one of those players who do not use the auto-pass feature as a rutine and I have had some not so pleasant feedback every now and then.

Not using the auto-pass significantly slows down turn based play. And some players are not aware that if you do have ambush the computer asks you if you want to play it, even if you enabled auto-pass.
I usually remind players the feature exists and if they do not turn it on I respect their choice.

If ambush is in the discard pile, then auto-pass is already enabled by default.

That is the right way to do it, thanks.
I also dislike those who don't have the auto-pass on - I need to think way more carefully my moves
But it is true that if the player don't try to benefit of the minute extra information gained by not routinely putting on the auto-pass, then it is just nice to remind that there an easy way to get the game run smoother.
It would be good to have possibility to set the auto-pass on or off by default, not needing to set it everytime.
