This is not particularly advanced. Mercedes offers “Distronic” since 1999 and it seems Mitsubishi developed something similar even around 1992. [

Oh is
that
what "Distronic" does? I literally work there on a backend system that has that term for one of the features, and I've just never known. I always thought it sounded like something AV related (it sounded "disc" adjacent).

It is "disc" related, the discs in question are the brake discs.
