I dont think it will be a hit. overrated.
the pause we have now on a conventional gearbox when the dog is jumping from one cog to the other is just enough for the revs to settle down.
no need for a new supertransmission wich need an artificial pause.
the system works on a bicycle (wich it was designed to be for), the crank and a humans feet have have only minuscule mass compared to a huge car engine wich needs to be slowed down by 1000-1500rpm.
although I must say I love the engineering, and I would have that box in my (insert name of wooden kit car you build as an 8 year old boy, usually with no engine, excuse me of my inadequate english vocabulary) anyday.
(in norway we have a designated name on that type of car, olabil, translated to ola's car. ola being typical norwegian name. it is not buggie, not cart, not trolly, not kidmobile, not johnmobile, but.......?? )
