I’d like to know what kind of CVT can transmit enough torque efficiently to move a production car heavy enough to pass the safety tests.

The ones I am familiar with use belts on cones or are hydrodynamic.

I’ve seen some new concepts but I wonder what type will be the first one commonly used in everyday cars?

I just answered my own question, Nissan has them now.

Will that be the type every auto maker uses when the patents expire?
