They all deal with simulating a manual transmission in electric cars. For example, how to achieve credible resistance with a clutch pedal when stepping on it. Or a reaction in the power transmission when “changing gears”. The patents speak of a “pseudo clutch pedal”. In any case, depending on the mode, you should have to use the clutch in manual operation or be able to do without pressing the clutch pedal. In the third mode, automatic, the drive should not behave like that of a normal electric car, but like a car with a combustion engine and automatic converter.
