Thats interesting but I think wrong, my 69 Pontiac won't start in gear unless the clutch is depressed. Neutral safety switches have been around for at least 55 years....
Three of our cars will go into park if the door is open or you open the door at low speeds. Drives me nuts when I'm shuffling cars around the driveway.
One of my vehicles has that auto stop/start feature. I hate it. Luckily it's a simple press of a button to disable which I do everytime right after I start the car.
