Some engineer somewhere will get it figured out eventually, and it will make the conventional automatic transmission obsolete.
I'm guessing it'll happen round about the time I'm grumpy and old and vehemently averse to any change. Then I can come on here and complain that I can no longer get a good old reliable "slushbox" in a pickup truck, like the guys complaining that they can't get a stick shift now.
Now I want a manual CVT.
Give me a clutch to get it rolling and a stick I can pull smoothly from front to back with infinite control of the ratio from granny to double-over.:)
