This is pretty cool.
Must be that robotic tuning, like Gibson was putting on a couple of models. They don't seem to be very popular anymore though....or they're still working out the bugs.
These tuners can only approximate the tuning by the number of cranks it takes to alter it. There are too many variables. Temperature, for one, would have a huge impact. I doubt they'd be accurate enough to actually use.
That won't stop hundreds of tone-deaf assholes from buying one.

I'm not familiar with these tuners but from an elector-mecanical point of view, it wouldn't be hard at all to sample the tonal qualities and tighten or loosen a string to make it replicate the desired tonal qualities exactly - and to do it on-the-fly at speeds and levels of accuracy that the human hearing and mind could never replicate.
If you don't believe this, just grab a pair of BOSE "noise cancelling" headphones and try to tune your guitar while wearing them.
