Example: You are in 6th gear, but you can downshift to so many gears as long as you are rev-matched - 5th or 4th gear most likely. I'm not quite sure how the computer can become so powerful that it reads the human mind, but we'll see soon enough after its reveal in a couple of days
It probably doesn't have to "know" which gear you're into, it simply has to understand that you're downshifting. That means all the downshifts possible, from 6th to 2nd.

I really hope this is an option. My god. If it's stock and impossible to deactivate, I think it'll be better to buy the 7 gear with paddles. Or giving up and buying another car. Damn.
