No, that's exactly the problem with start-stop. You go on the brake, then the car shuts down the motor, now if you go off the brake it starts again. Many people would go park in their garage, the car shuts off, they leave the car, the car drives into the wall.
In order to protect from this habit you need to detect whether the driver is still present. Opening the door is a pretty good indication (normally) that the car shouldn't start again.
- gpvos 7y agoThanks. I am aware of the start-stop mechanism, but didn't know its name, and have never had it in a car I was driving myself, so am less aware of its implications. (I don't drive often anyway.)
