What do you mean "will be coming"?
Cars in Japan have had stop start for about 20 years.
GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Mitsu and everyone else knew that U.S. consumers would not be interested in or wouldn't understand why the vehicle keeps stopping in traffic.
Don't be fooled into thinking this is something new.
