Das Ganze ist nicht wirklich mein Thema, aber ich bin heute darüber gestolpert und fand es dann zu interessant, um es nicht zu teilen.
Deswegen hier eine Übersicht über das, was bisher so im Netz dazu zu finden ist:
Kurzform: https://bikepacking.com/news/shimano-gearbox/
Langform/Ursprungsartikel: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/shimano-gearbox/
Patentanmeldung: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/ac/c6/46/60b59fb9800461/US20190011037A1.pdf
Aus dem Bikeradar-Artikel:
Mal schauen, was da demnächst noch so kommt...

Aus dem Bikeradar-Artikel:
Regardless of the potential disadvantages of a gearbox, there is a small but incredibly vocal minority of riders calling out for more investment in the technology.
Pinion and others have worked hard to meet that demand but, as a relatively small brand, it will never have the R&D budget or OEM clout of larger manufacturers.
This is why the potential of Shimano developing a gearbox could be such enormous news. Shimano is by far the biggest bicycle drivetrain manufacturer out there and it has huge development resources at its disposal.
Shimano would also never bother investing in developing such a system if it didn’t believe it could have significant advantages over a derailleur drivetrain.
Shimano has definitely developed some weird stuff, seemingly just because it could in the past (see Airlines), but I also doubt it would bother developing a gearbox if brands weren’t calling for one.
With this in mind, as you will soon see, I think it’s safe to assume Shimano is pretty far down the line with developing its gearbox concept, which, as far as I am aware, is the first of its kind from the brand.
Mal schauen, was da demnächst noch so kommt...
