Speaking as a city runner, you are 100000% wrong, and I have had numerous close calls demonstrating this.
If you roll through at 5.6mph while I am jogging into the intersection from your side, I will often be hidden by your A pillar the entire time right up until you hit me. And a 5.6mph point-blank hit to a pedestrian can be serious.
(edit: I have avoided these hits so far by watching people's eyes. If I can't see them see me, I stop regardless of right of way. This usually gives them a nice scare as they're rolling into the intersection and glance out their side window to see a person standing right there 'out of nowhere'. Not sure how I'll tell with FSD.)
As someone who did actually get run over when running through a crossroad as a kid, I _never_ run through crossroads since then, regardless of eye contact or not.
Runners (and the much loved sidewalk cyclists) are much farther from the road than a walking pedestrian. The drivers are NOT seeing you coming.
> Would you rather be hit by a semi-truck going 1mph or a bike going 28mph?
I'm actually not sure. The initial impact would hurt more with the bike, suggesting that perhaps momentum or something else proportional to velocity (not v^2) is a good heuristic there.
But if I tripped after impact, the bike would do no further damage to me and the semi would be ~1s away from killing me.
5.6 miles per hour is a fast jogging speed if you're on foot, twice as fast as typical walking speed. It is not a stop, doubly so if you're in a big metal box. Please don't do this.
Never having been stopped for doing this and confirming with police that they do not stop people for this are separate things, and I'm willing to bet that in your case it's the former, not the latter.
So presumably the Tesla is aware of all local laws and, more importantly, how strictly they are enforced from town to town, in every market the Tesla is sold or imported, in order to use this functionality safely and without resulting in ticketed traffic violations?

Does this dataset actually exist anywhere? I would bet that at best it might be able to be inaccurately inferred from other data.
Regardless, if we as a society decide to build self-driving cars, should we really be optimizing for the financial well-being of the driver (via tickets) over the physical wellbeing of the humans in the society (who are hit by FSD cars that roll stop signs in areas with less traffic enforcement).
