Naw, you can probably teach your car to stop the engine if it has been idling for more than a certain amount of time (I think the diesel lupo turned it off after 8 seconds)

And likewise you can teach it to engage the starter if the
1. engine is off
2. the clutch pedal is pressed
3. the throttle is off ifle

Just switches/sensors/electronic bits to control the sequence of events.
