A lot of engine- or vacuum-powered motors got replaced with electric
motors in auto-stop cars.  From what others have said, auto-stop cars
have "power" steering by using electric motors, so turning it ups the
load on the electrical system which is higher than the auto-stop battery
can tolerate, or the auto-stop logic decides you are beginning to drive
again, so it auto-starts.  A LOT of components in auto-stop cars got
replaced with electric motors.

As I understand it (which is still little), the Eyesight system might
get involved with auto-stop, but its consequential, like you come up to
a stoplight with pedestrians around, so maybe the Eyesight pedestrian
monitoring gets triggered.  I don't think the Eyesight can read traffic
lights as to what color they show; else, it could override you trying to
run a red light.

Automatic stop-and-go (bumper-to-bumper) speed control using EyeSight is
currently (or was) only a feature of EyeSight X in Japan where the car
can Auto drive.  I don't know if Eyesight X has filtered yet into the US
market, but then I don't know where you are.  Eyesight 4.0 add speed
sign reading and ACC (adaptive cruise control) speed limiting which is
part of Eyesight X.

You didn't say if you were first in line stopped at a traffic light, or
behind someone else also waiting there.  Eyesight has its adaptive
cruise control on select models where you can choose the distance to
maintain you and the car ahead.
