Shift the right gear - device

Wouldn't it just be simpler to hire a driver who knows how to shift?

 

Keep in mind the driver will be more focused on that device then his surroundings.

 

Automatic transmission is the name.

 

or just know what gear your in. or stop and start over in 2nd if you have to stop then so be it. If traffic is moving fast enough anyways you can find a gear still rolling

 

This thing has been around for decades. It's called "experience". Even if you have some hi tech gizmo that tells you what gear you should be going for, doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to shift smoothly. It's a function of the sound of your engine, a feel for your road speed,(both of which you get without focusing somewhere on the dash so that your eyes are on the road instead of not). It comes with time and practice. I'm not trying to belittle you or your idea, if you can find this amazing device and it helps you, so be it. It's just hard for us old skoolers to think of something like this, when we learned the only way there was, the hard way.

 

I saw something like this on the Simpson's once, only the truck drove itself when engaged

 

I like my Volvo I shift because it puts the transmission in the right gear and allows me to focus on more important things while driving, like hot chicks with big thingies.
