My hypothesis is that the device cuts out the starter motor. So if this sequence of events occurs, you can be stranded at a stop light:
1. Start the car.
2. Once the car is started, the order to cut off the starter comes in.
3. You drive.
4. The car stalls for whatever reason.
5. You can no longer start it.

A lot of newer cars have a gas-saving feature where they automatically stop the engine when the car's stopped at a red light, and automatically start it again when you take your foot off the gas pedal. If you've got a car like that, then every traffic signal could be an opportunity for your car to be disabled.
