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.
I have a reset default no option to change it either, now default leave it off is something I am okay with. But I think something needs to change so that even if I wanted to have that feature on im not lost without engine power without coming to a complete stop first. It was very concerning to me that I had not come to a complete stop, maybe going 3mph but I was not full stopped. I know saving money for city driving and fully get that. I just dont think the way its been implemented has been good safety wise.
Basically if car makerswant to have it they should no legislation should stop that. But at the same time. There shouldn't be legislation that requires it either. Only legislation I want is that which will protect life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for Americans. Hope that clears up my point.
As I said, my system does not activate unless I am already stopped. It depends on how the manufacturer chooses to design the system. I have had situations where I needed to stop momentarily to exit the car, and moved the selector to park. Only to find it had decided to stop the engine when I came back to resume driving, and had to re-start manually. No safety problem, but annoying as hell. ("Park" is the only way I can engage a parking brake. Ultra-stupid to put it in "neutral.")
There are notorious failures to think things out (e.g., the 737 MAX MCAS). Your point is understood. Perhaps a best practice (no activation unless fully stopped) requirement might be in order.
You didn't. You had the off button. Forgetfulness is a killer.
