oh ok so does it alert you say if you were going up a steep hill for example you would need to gear down? surely the gearstick would not move itself?

it doesn't drive the car for you
all it does is basically keep the throttle in the same place to keep to the same speed

How many motorways have hills so steep you'd need 4th gear at 70+ mph.
You wouldn't have it switched on with steep hills around as the chances are that the road wouldn't be straight.
