I know, we were toying around with this idea (using paddle shifters) a few years ago.
Fun, but I doubt re-sellable. A person can feel if the clutch pedal is hanging and if the transmission doesn't want to go into gear. A cable that is ramming a car into gear because it was "told to" has no clue that the transmission isn't "ready" for the next gear.
