Modern ICE cars are shut off at stops. No battery required.

Not to be pedantic, but modern ICE cars still have batteries...

I noticed certain builds of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offer an electric motor assist that also includes idle engine shutoff. We can only hope that is becomes a standard feature, electric motors in traffic jams would be wonderful.
