Meh...Only makes cycling an ever more expensive hobby for increasingly diminishing returns.

Most people who can afford a $2000 electronic gruppo and the $1000 powermeter "fees", on top of the bike itself and the other equipment (read: spending more on riding a single bike than the value of their car)...hopefully already know how to shift. The people who really need tech like this, as in *need* as in "are clueless how to shift properly", are the ones who will never be able to afford it (or want to afford it: sticker shock) and all the necessary side equipment to make it work.
