> automatic transmissions are on their way out Did you mean to say manual?

• bane 8y ago
  Manuals have been out for a very long time, it's just some regions haven't cottoned on to it yet. Autos are also on the way out as newer transmission styles are rapidly replacing them...CVTs for example. But the latest gen hybrids don't even have that and most electrics are basically direct drive.

  I think he’s referring to conventional automatic transmissions being replaced by CVTs due to size/weight/efficiency. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable_transmission https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable_transm...
