Sorry, Paul, - it might not be exactly what you a looking for, but I thought I'd share this thought.
This is not the cutting-edge technology, but it is something I am rather impressed from the technical point of view: the stepless transmission in mid-consumer-level passenger cars (e.g. Nissan Rogue, Nissan Versa). I heard about their existence several years ago, and I heard that some companies have been simulating gear-shifting (the jerky motion) on top of it, but I didn't appreciate that they appeared in mid-to-low level consumer cars. They came to the market so quietly that many consumers (including technically-reasonable ones) don't even know about existence of such technology.
