Anytime the brake is applied, it would detach the engine/transmission and as soon as you let off the brake (before you press the gas again), the clutch would re-engage the system.

VW and Volvo tried something like this, it was a nightmare.
There is an Alison automatic transmission one of the big ones, bigger than the Alison1000 like this, its a traditional auto trans that slips into neutral before you stop and goes back in gear when you let your foot off the brake.
