Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive gear shifter technology, and more specifically, it relates to an adaptive multi-mode automotive gear shifter device. Background Technology

[0002] Early car gear shifters were mainly mechanical structures. For example, manual gear shift levers directly controlled the transmission ratio through gear sets, relying on the driver's experience to judge when to shift gears. Although automatic transmissions introduced torque converters and planetary gear sets, mode switching was still based on fixed logic. With the increasing demand for intelligence, the "fixed rules" of traditional systems can no longer meet complex operating conditions, prompting the development of adaptive multi-mode shifting technology. Modern gear shifters achieve dynamic switching of driving modes through a multi-source perception-intelligent decision-making-precise execution architecture.
