I think its an engineering dream that just isn't gonna happen. A lot of engineering programs in college forced us to use CVTs which are fantastic on paper for max acceleration max efficiency max bsfc but in the real world it isn't. But the problem is that it works for boring laymans who just press the go pedal from stop light to stop light.
