Solenoid-type valves could be programmed with the use of a VTCU (Valve Train Control Unit) (Yay, another computer) to vary opening/closing speed and lift based on RPM/Load/Throttle Position/Etc.

Of course, millions of dollars of R&D and engineers beat me to it... I've had this idea in my head for years.
