There’s a really good write up I’ve read before (wish I could remember source and link but I can’t) that details the redundant systems working in every Tesla to prevent unintended acceleration.

Nope.
You are saying that in order for a hypothesis to be true, it must be proven *specifically* by the person who thought up said hypothesis. I am saying that neither the hypothesis nor science cares *who* proves or disproves a hypothesis. Hence I don’t find arguments of “well this scientist needs to prove his hypothesis, if not we should just ignore the hypothesis” terribly compelling.
Case in point:
“The name of 16th century Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus became a household word because he proposed that the Earth revolves around the sun. But the man who finally gathered scientific proof of that theory was English astronomer James Bradley.”

According to your flawed understanding of science, Copernicus should have kept his dumb hypothesis to himself and just buzzed off. I’m glad he didn’t!
So I try to inch forward after the stop, but the car interprets my lightly depressing the accelerator as permission to just drive through the intersection
Yes, I'm aware. That's why I haven't complained about it to Tesla. The point I was making is that once the actual FSD comes down the line, I hope that the car does its own creeping forward to see what's coming down the road before crossing or turning at an intersection.That is because pressing the accelerator is you giving it permission to proceed. That is how the feature currently works. It may be unintended by you, but it is commanded by you.

It does .. see some of the FSD beta videos. Also note that the cameras in the car are mounted more forward than your head, so the car has (potentially) a better view than you.
After reviewing the available data, ODI has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into SUA in the subject vehicles. In every instance in which event data was available for review by ODI, the evidence shows that SUA crashes in the complaints cited by the petitioner have been caused by pedal misapplication. There is no evidence of any fault in the accelerator pedal assemblies, motor control systems, or brake systems that has contributed to any of the cited incidents. There is no evidence of a design factor contributing to increased likelihood of pedal misapplication. The theory provided of a potential electronic cause of SUA in the subject vehicles is based upon inaccurate assumptions about system design and log data.
So NHTSA has finished their review of the SUA Defect Petition and have rejected it, finding, that as expected, it is pedal misapplication:
