There would need to be dedicated safety settings built into the system.

I discussed this with my electrical engineer and the safety precaustions we can built in seem prety easy.

A Trigger can be made to only allow changes to be made when the motors RPM are under a certain level along with only working when the driver has hsi foot on the handbrake

MOST tranmission require the movement of the lever. You will need strong servos/motors/pneumatics to move them. It won't be easy, and there is no real reason to do it, well except because it is cool.

With all your safeties, what will control them, the computer. If not, then why even use the computer to change gears. Might as well use whatever will control/be the safeties to change the gears.
