Many cars are now including CVTs. While I see this as an upgrade to the classic transmission design, I'm worried about what this is doing to our children. Seriously. Have you seen a kid play with a car? It goes something like this: "vroooom-vroooom-vroooom". Each "vrooom" goes from low to high pitch simulating the increase of RPM before the transmission shifts. What will kids in the future do? "vrooooooooooooooooooom" all in a simple monotone? How much fun is that? Think of the children.
