It is. I'm not sure if seansimp is suggesting the N360 for use with some sort of auxiliary auto-device that I am not aware of, or if he's just thinking that the twist-for-variance shifting is "auto" enough. I want to try the N360 pretty bad, but an auto-feature wouldn't interest me at all.

The SRAM Auto hub uses magnets to determine speed, and up- or down-shifts between the low gear and the overdrive accordingly. Pretty interesting.
