Is electronic gear really more advanced than mechanical gear?

Electronic gear shifting mechanism has many advantages that traditional gear shifting mechanism does not have. First, the design can be different; Second, it can greatly save the space inside the car, and the shift is more energy-saving, accurate and elegant. However, the biggest difference between the electronic gear lever and the mechanical gear lever is that the electronic gear lever will return to its original position after each operation, and there is no feedback of position information, and many gear icons of the electronic gear lever are not very clear, which further increases the possibility of misoperation.

Nowadays, the styles of electronic gear handles are endless, including knob type (representing Jaguar, Land Rover and other brands), chest type (representing Mercedes-Benz brand) and drumstick type (representing BMW brand). Different designs lead to different operation modes, and various shift modes are easily confused, especially for those who are used to driving the old mechanical shift mode. Problems are prone to occur on the road. Electronic documents are more advanced, but they also have disadvantages.

Electronic gear is computer-assisted gear shifting. Just send a signal. This electronic gear is generally automatic. Ordinary gears are divided into manual gears and automatic gears. For the mechanical gear, although the mechanical automatic gear is also a computer shift, it is relatively more reliable and feels better than the electronic gear. Electronic gear is also more cost-effective and safer than mechanical gear.

In addition to the warning light on the gear lever, this dashboard also shows the gear information, which is very conspicuous. Therefore, the advantage of electronic shift lever is not only fashionable and beautiful, but also convenient. The computer can be used to judge whether the driver's shift operation error will damage the transmission, so as to better protect the transmission and correct the driver's bad shift habits.
