Except Canon already has two cinema zoom lenses that have AF, the 18-80mm t4.4 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod..._e_18_80mm_t4_4_compact_servo.html?ap=y&smp=y) and the 70-200mm. You could argue that they are hybrid lenses, but they are called "cinema zoom lenses."

If there's one thing I've learned in all these years of life and an almost quarter century working in this crazy business, Never Say Never. All of the Canon Cine Servo lenses can auto focus on Canon Cine cameras from the C300/II up. I've put my 17-120 on one and It's crazy to see a lens like that being driven by autofocus. Also, talk to Panavision. They already have a line of lenses with internal servos. No, they're not being used for AF, but it's becoming trivial... I'm not going to get into the debate of creativity and decision making of focusing, because all of what I shoot is manual focus, but for meat & potatoes "just keep the subject/their face/their eyes in focus" stuff, some of the systems out there today are ridiculously good and damn near infallible.

That is like saying that if Angénieux bundled the Ronin 3D focus system with their lenses they were now making auto focus lenses. Ya, OK, sure. But that is one heck of a stretching of what an autofocus lens is.
