Tesla purposefully programs its FSD to drive "human-like" rather than strictly following the laws. For example, it will go with the flow of traffic rather than strictly following the speed limit.

Ah yes, but that's under the control of the driver. I can set it to obey the speed limit easily.

Where's the option for "stop for pedestrians at crosswalks"?

I really hope this doesn't happen. Configurable driving behaviors might make sense to a degree, but this feels dangerous. I would hope that the Department of Transportation (or equivalent in other countries) would regulate such things.
