Ensuring sufficient reaction time isn't the only reason for a full stop. A full stop is a signal to those around you that you are yielding the right of way. If there is another way to signal (e.g. all other cars are a autonomous vehicles communicating wirelessly and there are no pedestrians) then there is no need for a full stop. In other cases the lack of a clear signal can create confusion as to who has the right of way, leading to a collision.

- cout 5y agoIs it? I see nothing in parent/grandparent/ancestors of my comment qualifying whether or not other cars are at the intersection at the time of the rolling stop. The original comment that spawned this discussion was "If it keeps Teslas with 'aggressive' autopilot from doing illegal and dangerous things like rolling stops, I don't care what concern it stems from." There is a another thread on which is definitely about whether rolling stop are okay when nobody else is at the intersection (note this is subtly different from whether nobody else is around, especially for a two-way stop instead of a four-way).
