I know someone with this type of car. Dangerous af, in my opinion.
Driving sometimes requires evasive maneuvers to protect yourself from the reckless actions of others and if you're waiting for your car to re-start before you can get out of the way of oncoming danger you might just be fucked. One second can make all the difference and these cars will get people killed just to save a few drops of gas at a stoplight
Thats exactly what happend to me in the middle of the road. I commented the fully story but yeah, I almost got T Boned by a truck because my engine died on me, because I forgot to hit the off button when leaving the shopping center. I should never have had that control taken away from me.
Im sorry I dont expect my engine to die middle of the road because my car thought i was stopping even though I was still rolling forward? I shouldn't have a button in my car that regardless of the position its in can stop my car s engine without my input. This is a start/stop issue.
If I had any other vehicle with it defaulting the "feature" to off or not having that functionality, that would never have happened.
If there is no "off" switch, you have a righteous complaint. In my car, the brake must be engaged for it to work. If the feature can be disabled (no default reset), you have no complaint. It comes down to particulars of make and model. If Zeldin is making a default "on" illegal, that is fine with me. I don't regard it as a "climate technology" but a fuel-saving technology. Mileage is notoriously poor in city driving on account of frequent stops and traffic jams, and this helps a lot to mitigate it.
Some thing when you’re behind someone on a stop sign or light, give yourself some room. If they fuck around, like walk out with a gun, you have that extra room to do what’s need to be done

You didn't. You had the off button. Forgetfulness is a killer.
