First ive heard of the Commodore having it, i know some of the new BMW/Mini cars have it, and is a good system.
The starter motor in these new cars uses very little energy so max fuel can be saved when switching the car on and off.

yeah but if you turn your car on and off you will flatten your battery. i meant more powerful not stronger haha. like a higher output battery to keep starting the car over and over again

The BMW/Mini alternator has a clutch on the alternator pulley so it's not constantly engaged, therefore when electrical load isn't there, the alternator is idling.
So the alternator can keep up with the constant starting cause at other times it's not being used at all!!
Trying to find the technical documents i got for the Mini D with the auto stop start
