Standard Engines with Hybrid-esque Performance

Looks like some scientists have made "intelligent" cars that feed on a network of traffic data. Essentially, the vehicles predict slowdowns for either traffic or red lights and bring the car to a more gradual stop. This eliminates much of the stop 'n go waste that eats so much fuel allowing a standard car to achieve hybrid-esque fuel efficiency performance.

This looks like the "forced" application of improved driving habits - just more proof that our oil dependence is a result of our own laziness.
