One article from *1980* mentions developments in #AutomaticGearboxes - and even dual-clutch #transmissions - and that AP (Automotive Products, a British company which already made an innovative 4 speed auto 'box for the #Mini and other smaller #BritishLeyland #cars) was developing a 6 speed model.
Nothing much came of this development until almost 25 years later when #Volkswagen and #BorgWarner (formed from a company set up by AP in early 20th century!) picked up development and put the #DSG 'box in mass production in 2003 with the #DQ250 (my own car has a newer version of this 'box!)
