The virtual clutch(for clutchless manuals)

I was thinking, many people who do clutchless manual ev-conversions complain about how hard it is to shift.

What i propose is to have rev-matching logic in the motor controller, that is operated with a clutch pedal. In the up position the motor is controlled with the throttle normally, in the down position the motor is automatically kept at the correct revs for the gear you are trying to get in or out of. In intermediate positions it's a compromise, allowing you to get off the clutch smoothly while finding the right throttle position.

Sensors for the motor and output shaft speeds and some switches for the gear selector will be needed.

Opinions?
