Will the energy crisis put an end to development of automatic gearboxes

Abstract

The power absorbing automatic gearbox may disappear with advancing fuel costs. Electronic controls will be at the center of improvements being developed for possible acceptable small car automatic gearboxes. A total engine management package being developed by Lucas involves extending the microprocessor which with current technology can control both the fuel injection system and the electronic ignition of a car engine to control the automatic gearbox.
