Metabones has a similar adapter, firmware updatable, which permits Canon EF 
and EF-S  lenses to be used in fully automatic fashion  on  Sony (E or NEX 
mount) bodies. I have used it. It works very well with most Cannon EF 
lenses. I do not know about the financial and legal issues that must be 
surmounted in order to develop such a smart adapter.
