Years ago, a friend had a VW with an "Automatic Stickshift." It was also available from Porsche as the Tiptronic.

It detected pressure on the shift lever and automatically disengaged the clutch... which meant that you couldn't put your hand on the shift knob until you were ready to change gears, or it would shudder violently. Driving an early seventies VW bug wasn't much fun in the first place, but that thing made it even worse.
