Dangerous trend to me. Why should your car make you follow the law?
As far as 4 way stops those are not consistent state to state. In Alabama the
law says that drivers decide who goes next by signaling each other. No order of
prescience.

Waymo also allows programs their vehicles to do an "alternating cross"
4-way stop pattern which is commonly used in practice, but not
technically legal.
(Where pairs of vehicles will cross a 4 way stop in perpendicular
directions, regardless of the exact order of arrival). [As well as
nosing into the intersection to signal intent....)
So a lot of self driving vehicles have to have "commonly used, but
illegal" behavior as an option.
But yes, having an explicit checkbox "let my car roll stop signs" seems
like a legally questionable engineering choice.
