I don't doubt continuous variable transmission overseen by a haughty AI with an annoying voice is far away. The idea of a cassette /chain is probably chilling to those tech bods in the valley.

How far over the horizon are automatic shifters?

I used a nice setup last year on ICE trikes.

Continuous variable transmission is possible, it's been on the go for at least 60 years. I believe DAF pioneered it on their smaller cars
