This just isn't true, "Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control" is a feature of basic autopilot on Model 3s.

Earlier this year they stopped selling Autopilot altogether in the US and Canada.
Too much variation to make a call on whether their version sips have been stopping under these conditions.
The article is pretty clickbait-y, acknowledging it is unknown whether or not the car was using FSD or Autopilot, and then going on to speculate it probably was FSD, and then again saying "That's not a certainty".
>Because Tesla redacted the software version, we can’t say for certain whether this was basic Autopilot or “Full Self-Driving.”
I would like to know why Tesla (or any automaker) is allowed to redact this information.
That's an easy one, donate enough money to elected officials who would be the only ones that could prevent this from happening :)
People who think the software version isn't a valid trade secret can still ask for public disclosure, and the Washington Post has done so (https://electrek.co/2025/06/05/tesla-admits-suffer-financial...). If Tesla weren't allowed to self-redact, then the NHTSA wouldn't be able to see these reports at all until the courts settle this issue.
