It is not possible to compare technology from the 60-70s to the 21st century.
Volvo even tried something similar on their 99-2001 cars where the electronics kicked the transmission into neutral at standstill with brakes applied and then kick in back to Drive as soon as brake pedal was released.
It didn't turn out that well and they came out with a software update to remove that function when it failed.
The 900 automatic is not that sturdy transmission and you should use it gentle since the cost when they fail is more than the value of the car.
The gas saving having it in neutral would not beat the cost of transmission wear.
