    Continuously variable transmissions are an automotive transmission fitted in a vehicle, using a continuously variable drive ratio or variator device. The typical "automatic gearbox" is not usually considered to be a continuously-variable transmission, as it relies on shifting between discrete gear ratios.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission

    A continuously variable transmission (CVT) can change seamlessly through a continuous (infinite) range of gear ratios, compared with other automatic transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the engine to operate at a constant angular velocity while the ...

    A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable ...
