i couldn't gather if he has a working prototype yet or not.
i do find it a bit hard to believe that he could single handedly trump auto manufacturer's r&d who probably have millions of dollars and many many smart ppl working on the exact same problem..
also i wonder whatever happened to the cvt? seems like that would be a good way to make engines more efficient, you could always have the motor operating at its most efficient and then just let the trans adapt to the appropriate road speed
