If it is an automatic, why does the user have to change gear?


Because it automatically does the clutching/declutching.


So it's at best a semi-automatic.


No, it's a full automatic. Just put it in D and it does everything,
just like any other automatic.

You don't have to decide when to change gears, or in which direction,
or actually do anything for gear changes to occur. So it's just like a
traditional torque converter automatic, but with faster, slightly less
smooth changes.
