It's when I approach the red light knowing that it's only seconds away from giving me the green light that I find myself feathering the brake pedal in an attempt to keep the motor running. No, I don't like to play this game every two miles. But is a solution in the works?

Select Audi vehicles in select cities, Vegas in particular, are working with a system that displays on the vehicle information system the time until the light will change. If/when this technology becomes mainstream, and it's likely to happen, then I see potential to incorporate that information into the auto stop system.

If your truck was better about only shutting down in situations of one minute(?) or longer would we still be discussing ways of disabling it on this forum?

How does the truck know how long before the light turns? I am confused by your suggestion.
