Audi is working on variety of ways to improve the CO2 emissions of its vehicles by incorporating start-stop technologies, weight-saving features and aerodynamic innovations. The program is similar to BMW’s Efficient Dynamics move, which resulted in the start-stop technology being fitted into most of its models last year.

Hasn't GM had start/stop in some of their cars for a few years now? Something is the area of about 2+ years?
