Yeah, the obvious question is once you have an electronically controlled clutch, why only have one clutch ... you can get much quicker and smoother shifts with two clutches.
Then, if you're electronically controlling two clutches via a pedal to change gears, why not do away with the pedal altogether.
Someone should patent that... Maybe call it a twin clutch transmission... two clutch transmission... double clutch transmission ... I dunno... something similar.
Lastly, the gear leaver on the floor is a bit inconvenient, maybe there'll be a way to put it somewhere where the driver can keep their hands on the wheel while they change gears.
