I'm curious what's going on there, because I would have assumed they'd treat the red light as a hard "you're stopped now and absolutely may not go again without affirmative signal (green light or driver intervention)" state. It seems pretty weird that it would just... decide to go, after a bit, on its own, without anything telling it to.
