Plenty autos exhibit the same thing. A planetary gearbox does not
interrupt power flow when changing ratio.

The dual clutch designs are also able to apply continuous torque.



So how does that work with an ICE? If the car goes faster then the
input/output ratio must increase, therefore to maintain the output
torque the input torque must increase - but the ICE will slow down so
its torque must increase for decreasing engine revs.

You seem to be confusing continuous with constant. The car will be able
to apply torque to the wheels without noticeable interruption, that does
not mean to say the amount of torque will not change.

Sounds ******** to me.

Any sufficiently advanced technology will sound like magic ;-)
