Or is it start/stop?
Anyway, the topic is whether this is impacting the flow of traffic in cities?
I know they are pretty good in the way they work but I can't help thinking that the one second-ish delay is resulting in fewer queuing cars making it through a traffic light when the lights change from red to green. I often see cars ahead of me slow to move off and wonder if this is the primary reason.
Personally, I release my brake slightly so the engine is ready to go when I see cars ahead of the one in front moving.
