RE: Car transmissions go hi-tech
Agreed, but they do talk about the different technologies.
Regarding your comments on MPG on transmissions, since I was in high school automatics have always gotten worse MPG than manuals and of course they are always heavier. So between the weight and engineering losses they have inherent disadvantages. But on the advantage side, they are easier to drive while on the phone, reading email, eating a cheeseburger, and brushing your teeth.
Sorry, it is getting late and I am starting to lose it.
