Though I'm not really excited about EVs and the politics surrounding their growth, nowadays it wouldn't suprise me to see conventional automatic transmissions getting replaced by hybrid systems. Just look at what Toyota is doing in Europe, where in certain markets some of its models are offered with either a manual transmission or a hybrid powertrain. IIRC nowadays at least in Portugal the RAV4 is now only available as hybrid.
