Also worth mentioning that Stop Start began in Europe
with manual transmission cars.. Hard to find a modern MT car in Europe without it. Developing it for AT was a PITA because of the need to keep the transmission pressurized and in gear with the engine off, as well as the need to manage what happens when the engine starts shutting down, but the driver changes their mind (light changes from red to green).
