You can not say this without the caveat that it is location dependent. This is an illegal action in some cities and states. Like in California, where that video was taken, yellow means STOP if you can safely do so. Both of these cars had ample time to stop and chose to accelerate to make the light.

How can you tell both cars had ample time to stop? We didn't see how close they were to entering the intersection in the video.

They entered the intersection on a yellow light, which is perfectly legal if they could not stop.
