The usage of modern computer-controlled AMTs in passenger cars increased during the mid-1990s, as a more sporting alternative to the traditional hydraulic automatic transmission. Modern versions of these systems that are fully automatic in operation, such as Selespeed and Easytronic, can control both the clutch operation and the gear shifts automatically, by means of an ECU, therefore requiring no manual intervention or driver input for gear changes. These systems that require manual shifting are also referred to as clutchless manual systems. Many early versions of these transmissions that are semi-automatic in operation, such as Autostick, which automatically control only the clutch - often using various forms of clutch actuation, such as electro-mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or vacuum actuation - but still require the driver's manual input and full control to initiate gear changes by hand. It is essentially a conventional manual transmission equipped with automatic actuation to operate the clutch and/or shift gears.
