Sounds a bit like the four wheel steer 'innovation' of the mid to late 1990's when a few manufacturers went down that path ..
A BMW big wig was asked at the time why they weren't heading down that track in a Wheels article and he responded with (paraphrasing)
"Why complicate things when our cars handle as well as they do "
He was right as it happens . Don't think it was a big success or taken on by too many at the time or since.

When they work properly they're a great transmission; the feel/power delivery of a manual, but automatic shifting.
