can SMG transmissions act as fully automatic?

you would think that the computer that controls how the shift works when you press the paddle could also initiate a shift easily itself. but afaik none of them operate in full auto mode

The BMW and Ferrari sequential manuals both offer an auto mode. The Toyota SMT does not.
