Cars with engines that turn off at every stop lights. Completely woke crap.

Wasn't 'woke' not performing well in races for psychological reasons yesterday? How does that work then?

Why so angry? Like everyone of your pores is oozing with outright rage. You are going to have a heart attack.

If that weren’t enough, they put 8 speeds in my automatic gearbox. Eight! I begin to fear there is no end to the wokeness.

If ignorant right wing (redundant I know) m a ga morons who spout bullcrap like the OP don't anger you then that says more about you than me.

Tbf, hybrids can easily do this because they rely on the electric engine for acceleration.

Still so angry.

This.

I’m also anti-woke and right there with you. These are some of the woke things we can’t stand.

1. protesting

2. Being too sentimental about killing a young dog when it misbehaves

3. Worrying about the environment/believing in man made climate change

4. vaccines!
5. Gender dysphoria

6. being supportive of immigrants (wth!!?)

7. Anti-death penalty

1. Perhaps if you could protest without being an idiot people wouldn't loathe you. Throwing soup on priceless art isn't "protest". Beating old ladies with 2x4's over a cause you don't understand isn't "protest". Blocking traffic for causes you don't even understand isn't "protest". Attacking Jews on college campuses for another cause you don't even understand isn't "protest".

2. The entire country thinks Noem is an idiot now. Her career is over.

3. The key word there is "believing". I don't "believe" in gravity. It's existence is an objective fact. The problem with the climate hysteria is precisely that it is all "belief" and emotion and zero facts. What % of the warming is due to mankind? You have no idea and aren't even curious. Your political "scientist" overlords have no idea either.

4. The vaccine didn't work. It's baffling that you think this is still a winning argument.

5. Mutilating the genitals of children is not as popular with normal people as it is in your marxist sewing circles.

6. Illegal immigrants are criminals. If you don't have a Guatemalan family living in your spare room right now you're a hypocrite.

7. If only you cared about the unborn as much you care about murderers and child rapists...

Yeah, why should other people get to choose a low emissions car, right, when have to LISTEN to it not make noise!! What $&@ drag!! But you can make up for it by running truck all night with no one in it. No annoying need to turn it on the next morning. Win/win.

Right wingers: Gas prices are too high. Rahrahrarrr!!!!

Normal people: here is a simple device that saves gas by shutting the engine off when stopped instead of idling.

Right wingers: Auto start is woke garbage. Rahrahrarrr!!!

Auto start systems work. They can get city MPG to go up by 2-3 MPG which can add up if you do a lot of stop and go driving. The new starters do not have a separate flywheel, so they can easily start the vehicle hundreds of times a day if necessary. I have been using auto start on my Subaru for five years and 90k+ miles without any problems.

But auto starts main environmental benefit is reducing smog precursors that come out of your tail pipe. SOx and NOx are tailpipe emissions that cause ground level ozone or smog. Idling vehicles are a big culprit because they dump lots of smog precursors in high traffic areas. Smog is a local pollution problem and reducing emissions from idling vehicles is a big help.

Gas prices are too high. Normal people think going to war on fossil fuels before there's a viable alternative is pretty stupid.

I'd love to see the math on the break even point for the 2-3 mpg savings.

In all seriousness, what is 'woke', being 'woke' or 'wokeness'?

I know I can google it but I just want to hear it from the masses.

That word has been thrown around a lot.

What is the OP's understanding of 'woke'?

This applies to everyone as well.

By the same token, supposing the said car has a bad battery. If it cuts off at a light, what happens?

On a serious note, what is being 'woke' or 'wokeness'?

You sound like that person that was upset that they couldn't no longer tie up their horse on a city street because most people had moved on to automobiles.

STFU!

If we truly gave a crap about emissions, we would start with devloping tech to reduce the amount of times we have to stop and accelerate from a stop. The idea of shutting off your car at a stop is a reaction to a symptom of a bigger root problem. Stop light tech is absolute garbage. Think about how inefficient stop lights actually are. Not only for fuel, but on human energy and time. As much as the gov't spies on us through our phones and GPS these days, invest that money into syncronyzation of our stop lights. AI should be able to handle the math to figure out trends and patterns on how many people are approaching an intersection at given times and make sound decisions.

Traffic circles, baby!!

I agree, Roundabouts do help this, but lets be honest, at this point are we going to tear up every intersection? Some states have bought into this concept more than others...but you already have stop lights at basically every intersection. The control is all that would need to be replaced in theory.
