Nissan demonstrates its new stop-and-start control with a countertop ramen-delivery vehicle

I’m not sure I really understand the point of this?

Cars are not autonomous and I don’t notice any uncomfortable feelings when stopping.
If this can make my vehicle stop quicker, sure bring it on - but not at the expense of having expensive dampeners and controls. I’d rather not spend a small fortune to replace struts. I run EBC yellows because I care about stopping, not how smooth and nice it is. But then again, I drive a manual so I’m way way in the minority.

It’s probably a nice technology to have on hand though. I could see it in large applications, like a bus.
