    It’s not like you can use that time freed by automating gear shifting for something else.

    It’s a tool, yes, but personally, I like having more control over tools I use. I’d choose a cordless drill that I can set the torque control myself over one that doesn’t have that option.

      It doesn’t free up time no but it does make driving ever so slightly less involved.

      Controls on a drill have a clear practical purpose, and to my knowledge they don’t make them that do that automatically in a reasonable price range. I would totally buy that if they did. ;-)

        and by making driving less involved, we free up drivers to play on their phones while going 70mph down the highway. progress!
