apologies again if this is slightly OT. To be honest this is the first thread i've read on here regarding the AT that is of much use. I appreciate it!

I'm curious on how smart the auto-rev match and downshifting algorithm is. For example, going into a tight turn slowing down from a 110mph straight i'll likely be hard on the brakes and about to engage 2nd gear to use some engine braking deep, perhaps to rotate the car (or something like this). How smart is the downshifting algorithm here? Will it not allow downshifting even if it knows for sure it will cause an over-rev situation? This is a common mistake with beginners with manuals or even a mis-shift situation. Or is it a lazy downshift where it will not downshift until it knows you're well into the safe zone speed and rpm wise? This is a complicated algorithm so i'm wondering if they got it right or do they play it conversative?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
