Don't they provide none of the advantages of an automatic (ease of mind in traffic), and all the disadvantages (less mechanical and power efficiency, etc..)
As far as I know, they're pretty much only useful in racing
- sergiosgc 10y agoIt depends on the technology. Double clutch automatic transmissions are manual transmissions with a robot that changes gears. The double clutch allows for the car to switch gears using clutches, so there is no jerky behavior. They give you as much control as a manual transmission, but only when you want to. Best of both worlds. Some paddle shifters are automatic transmissions and the paddles actuate the torque converter. The worst of both worlds.
