Great idea! This would be worth trying. You could get real fancy with how you turned it on and off. First I would have it wired to always be on at start up and have to manually turn it off. That way if my wife were to drive my car she has to do nothing for it to work normally.
The next step would be to have the PS atomatically kick in below a certain speed...say 10mph.
Please let us know if you try to tackle this.
