Toyota adds engine shut-off feature for safety - CNN

Starting with the 2020 model year:

"Toyota cars and SUVs with push-button ignitions will now turn themselves off after being parked for a period of time, even if the driver didn't hit the "Engine Off" button."

"Toyota will also add features to some vehicles that will automatically shift it into park when the vehicle is turned off. This system will be available only on vehicles with electronic gear selectors rather than mechanical levers."

"Plug-in hybrids are the next most effective after that, but only if they are operated entirely on battery, which is hard to enforce in practice."

Hybrids offer fastest route to reduce CO2, says Emissions Analytics | Environment News
