Electronic machines with internal calculations of increases and decreases for shaping deserve their own list. There are no physical knit-leaders attached per se.

Brother KH355, mid-gauge (7 mm), although not an electronic machine, has an electronic knit leader to calculate decreases and increases based on the entered swatch/gauge parameters.
