> Humans correctly gauge stopping distance and "activate appropriately"
Toyota has enough UX data that they added "brake assist", turns out that a lot of accidents happen when the user stomps the brake, but then releases, just never presses it hard enough to come to a complete stop, or was trained before anti lock brakes.
Another scary thing about braking is that most cars probably don't have their brake fluid changed often enough; most owners and even dealers treat it as a lifetime interval, when it may be closer to an annual thing interval.
