It's not at all impossible, though "actuator" is a bit oversimplified. Robotics would be a more appropriate term. Entirely possible for a custom installation, but would be very difficult to develop as a production aftermarket kit as every application would require its own algorithm. Ferrari build cars to spec, while every hot rod is different.
The correct algorithm for one hot rod in particular, may result in a blown clutch or engine meltdown when installed in another. Hell. even the Ferrari F1 system is still flawed during low speed, part throttle application where the computer lacks human finesse. It's no wonder that the Porsche Carrera GT is only offered with a traditional manual and the McLaren-Mercedes supercar has a manumatic.
Robotics are the easy part, software development holds the real challenge.
Gosh, I sound so smart.
