It’s also dangerous to have deceleration abilities far in excess of other vehicles, which will rear end you if you panic-stop (all out) when it might have been better to slightly crumple the rear of the car in front of you, or at least come to a stop at the last possible moment. If the extra braking only occurred as necessary to stop you from colliding with an object that would have stopped you anyway (e.g. another car), then I guess I can’t object. Of course, it would need to sense the distance to that object in order to do so.
Better stopping seems like it would have great benefit if all vehicles possessed the ability, or if the users of it had training or technological aids to avoid the mistake of prematurely using it and getting unnecessarily rear-ended as a result.
