in smaller cars yes, but I wonder they make any for big rigs. What I think about is traditional gearbox with actuators and sensors on clutch and gear stop positions, so it can release the clutch, shift gears and put the clutch into action instead of the driver. I believe it is more efficient solution than traditional automatic transmission - no torque converter, no losses.
