I don't know what chevy did but some non-hybrid economy cars sold in japan as early as the mid to late 90s have had auto start/stop. It sounds like it works almost as seamlessly as what you described.
Glad to see GM finely catching up to late 1990s Japanese tech.

I use a crank tooth counter for a tach signal on my diesel.
The crank tooth counter came off a 1970s 400hz generator. So they have been around for a while.
