we've never really seen inexpensive pico-second controller timing and position sensing applied to a transmission, at least I haven't. But it seems very possible to make a reliable, efficient, fairly compact, and smooth shifting sliding mesh transmission with some authority over the traction motor during shifts as needed. such a transmission can theoretically rpm match the motor actively and even wait for teeth to be aligned before sliding into gear, then reapply power smoothly (user defined), and all very quickly, and cheaper and more efficient than dual clutch.
