Your regular automatic transmission with a lockup torque converter will probably be more efficient than a variable hydraulic one.

Your regular automatic transmission with a lockup torque converter will probably be more efficient than a variable hydraulic one. Maybe; I was thinking of power/weight ratio. The transmission and drive train are pretty heavy.
The other thing that a infinitely-variable transmission would have on a regular auto is the ability to always be at the most efficient 'gearing'.
