“"highway" includes ... every private place or passageway to which the public, for the purpose of the parking or servicing of vehicles, has access or is invited”

- Accessible Parking
- Unlicensed driving (for example, shared private spaces such as parking lots)
- Drunk driving
So your statement does not invalidate the original point.
But I feel like you're pointlessly nitpicking, which is against the hn rules, so please read those.
And my comment addresses that.
Instead, it would be nit picking to say "well, actually, some laws do apply, and since you said all laws accidentally, that makes you wrong!".
In reality, whatever actions the Tesla car in question did, might not be illegal because some laws might not apply.
The original point, that maybe the Tesla car didn't do anything illegal, could be true.
Also, when one gets a person who drives the wrong way, maybe one has a good chance to make them reverse. Good luck with a car without a driver.
And if you ran over someone while ignoring signs even on private property (for example), it wouldn't help your criminal defense either.
For example in Australia we have a 'reckless driving' law which would definitely cover the case of you ignoring parking lot rules. Likewise if you had an incident I doubt your insurance company would honor the claim.
Those stop signs IN a parking lot? They legally mean nothing. Police can not give you a ticket for not stopping.
