4-5% is massive for such a cheap feature to implement, and it should be a no-brainer standard feature. Sure, allow the owner to disable it if they choose, but I actually like it. My car is climate-control conscious and turns the engine on if the cabin gets too warm. My car also has a manual transmission, and the auto-start turns the engine on as soon as I start pushing the clutch in. I find it super unobtrusive in my case. Don't know how annoying it is in an automatic.

Allowing the driver to permanently turn it off is literally illegal.

Doubt. My car has a configurable personalized drive mode. One of the options in that mode is whether idle stop defaults on or off.

This aired in 2016. Martha served time in '04-'05. They probably just didn't cuff her.

No. We don't need hardware tied to SaaS at all. Full stop. There's nothing to add.

Maybe the article goes a different direction, but I'll never know because The Verge now apparently has a login wall on their articles.

But maybe Steven Cheung does.

Today Toyota has a range of BEVs and is launching more as I type this.

Toyota has one BEV that was released at an unattractive price, with an unremarkable range, and with fairly unattractive styling. There's others upcoming, but it's just the one at the moment.
