Abstract
The system includes an engine, a sensor, and a controller. The engine provides a driving motion for the vehicle. The sensor unit is configured to determine a range of a leading vehicle. The controller is in communication with the engine and the sensor unit, such that the controller may shut down the engine based on the range of the lead vehicle as determined by the sensor unit.
