When shopping for cars recently I test drove a few Japanese cars with CVT (Continuously variable transmission), which basically has no physical gear change. I'd prefer to have a full manual gearbox but my wife can't drive a stick shift so I had to go for an auto box, which is fine, lazy but fine... but I really didn't like the CVT transmissions, it felt like driving an electric motored car.
What do y'all think of this type of transmission?
Also, driving aids, you know the type of thing, basically it won't allow you to have an accident. In theory it's a great idea but I feel that too much control is being taken away from the driver. If you can't drive without crashing, stay the hell away from a car. It really isn't that difficult to drive a car; plus these auto driving aids can cause accidents by doing something unexpected!
I'd be interested to hear everyone's thoughts?
