Hyundai has filed a patent for a new shift mechanism.
It is a shift-by-wire system that can operate in manual or automatic mode.
It is similar to Koenigsegg’s Light Speed Transmission and a recent Porsche patent filing.
Fake vents. Fake engine sounds. Fake tailpipes. Fake gearshifts. What’s next? Fake shifters, of course.
Cars have always been about the vibes, and digitization has opened a huge door of possibilities for automakers. Shift-by-wire systems aren’t new in the industry, but a patent filing from Hyundai puts a big twist on the technology that looks to provide buyers with the best of both gearboxes.
