imagine the middle of winter, roads closed due to poor weather folk stranded on all our motorways so how do you keep warm? sit in your car with the foot on the clutch for hours to heat the car up?
it doesnt happen often, but we do get bad spells of weather causing folk to be stranded all night.

maybe i should design some kind of clutch pedal switch over ride system in the future?

No offence but you're talking nonsense.

The system is designed so that the engine will turn back on / stay on if it thinks the power is required.

There already IS an override button for it.

im not talking nonsense, im trying to understand this,i genuinly dont know much about this stop start stuff.ive never driven one.
i know there is an overide button, but this could eventually disappear and it will become a standard feature with no overide as some posters are suggesting.

so no offence but read the whole thread.

I've read it; have you?

Where does it mention the override will disappear?

As for how it works, its been mentioned a few times already in this thread.

Ok. You sit in traffic, put the hand brake on, and put in neutral with clutch up.

Engine goes off.

Touch the clutch, engine starts.

release the clutch again, and the engine will remain on. Simples.

of course ive read it.
a few folk have mentioned that this will become an eu regulation eventually and a few have mentioned that the ability to over ride the system could disappear. im talking about in the future when its a must, not current stop start models where you have the choice.

it isnt though, it comes on and off if conditins allow. i assumed the same as you that the only way it would come on is if the clutch was pressed or in gear.
it seems the engine can be running if you have auxiliary functions like heaters or A/C running without pressing the clutch pedal.

Therefore you are not qualified to make this assessment

There is a set of traffic lights near me that leads on to the motorway slip road, I usually rev to 4K and drop the clutch to get past the numpties that like to join the M1 at 40mph.
