Honda hybrids mostly work this way except at very high speeds, where the motor is used directly. It simplifies the design by removing a traditional transmission, but they're the least efficient hybrids on the road. Honestly not worth it IMO.

They do make sense however if you're using them to do short commutes 99% of the time and only use the gas engine in the rare occasions where you go for a longer road trip.
