Lots of people will slow down significantly (say to <10mph), but not stop completely, if no one seems to be there.

It's one of the many things that make me wild about the idea of letting computers do the driving. Zipper-merging, slowing to time lights instead of stopping, and no rubbernecking are wonders of the future I can't wait to enjoy.
I guess they couldn't call it a "California stop" / "California roll" if that wasn't the law.
Which must be why "stop means STOP!!!" was repeated very forcefully by the driving instructor and the friendly police officer multiple times during my driving course.
