GM announced plans for a similar action in their full size p/u. The engine
shuts off automatically when idling i.e. at stop lights. Claims to have
significant fuel savings.

How do the gas powered golf carts starting system work. When you apply the
brakes the engine shuts off and then when you press the gas pedal the
engine
starts and you drive away. Why hasn't this technology been used in
automobiles?
