CVT is not the same as "automatic transmission", but it is a subtype of automatic transmission, i.e. CVT is a kind of automatic transmission, but there are also other kinds of automatic transmissions, which are more frequently used.

"Automatic transmission" just means that you do not change gears manually, which is also true for CVT.

Not sure why you are making this statement.
