Automatic transmission (AT)
* Operating principle: Shifts gears automatically using a torque converter and planetary gears.
* Advantages: Smooth switching, high power, reliability.
* Disadvantages: Fuel consumption is higher than other types of transmissions, less economical at low speeds.
Robotic gearbox (robot)
* Operating principle: Uses a conventional manual transmission, but is controlled electronically to provide automatic gear shifting.
*Advantages: Economical, lower fuel consumption than automatic transmission.
* Disadvantages: Sharper gear shifting, less driving comfort, low reliability.
CVT (CVT)
* Operating principle: Does not have fixed gears, but instead uses a set of pulleys and a belt to change the gear ratio.
*Advantages: Very smooth switching, high efficiency, low noise level.
* Disadvantages: The need for special maintenance and repair, low power, lack of manual gear shift mode.
