Autoplaying video ads

Are these new? Will I get in trouble for viewing them?

I've noticed latest that I have 300x250 video ads on my site that are autoplaying. These simply start playing automatically - is this a new offering from Adsense?

They've been on my site for probably the past 3 days - I'm concerned that I'll get in trouble or penalized for viewing them from my own computer. I haven't noticed any increase in revenue since seeing these on my site.

The TOS says it's all right to view them:

[google.com...]

However all descriptions of those ads refer to them as "click to play." I didn't realize they also had auto-play ads. That's sort of annoying. The visitor should have a choice in whether or not the video plays.
