Electrically-activated clutches, either fully-automated or hand-activated with a trigger, are still not so unusual in cars adapted for disabled drivers in Europe and South America. BTW have you ever heard about the old Saxomat automatic clutch system which was available as an option to nearly every European car from the post-war to the 80s? A handful of Beetles and Karmann-Ghias fitted with that device were brought to the U.S. by military personell who bought them while stationed overseas.
