I once saw a Myvi performing reverse parking at the mall. When the driver stop to shift into reverse gear, the idle stop kicked in and the engine died, then promptly restart as the driver starts to reverse into the parking bay.

One of the most idiotic thing I've seen a car do.

Here's the thing, takkan the manufacturers didn't know the uselessness of that thing when it was under product testing ? They did test the damn thing didn't they or they sounded like that's what the product salesman said or their brochure said and we believed in it wholeheartedly shit. Did they actually think that this useless product is simply going to over the rakyat heads ? Surely there must be some kind of incentive to push this useless product into the mass market. Otherwise who the hell in the right frame of mind is going to damage their goodwill ?

A lot of useless features are invented to meet fuel efficiency goals and emissions regulations.

Save fuel in controlled test environments at the expense of reliability due to increased complexity. To add salt to injury, the savings is negligible IRL.
