Auto Start-Stop: A Fuel Saver or a Safety Hazard?

Ray Talks Season 4 Episode 6

Is the fuel you're saving worth the risk of a breakdown in traffic?  In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we tackle one of the most polarizing features in the modern automotive world: the Auto Start-Stop button. While designed to reduce emissions and improve gas mileage, what happens when the technology fails at a crowded intersection?

We discuss the real-world frustration of engine restart lag and the very real danger of being rear-ended when your vehicle hesitates at a green light. Join me as we weigh the environmental benefits against the mechanical reliability and safety concerns that every modern driver needs to know.
