Wanna bet it puts on the brakes for a newspaper blowing in the wind, a gust of dust, and a squirrel? (I would not brake for the paper and the dust. I would brake for the squirrel if there’s no one right behind me)
Absolutely. Sometimes you're driving along and a blanket or tarp works loose from a pickup truck ahead of you. No big deal to drive through it, but slam on your brakes and the car behind you would plow into you. Or a small animal runs across your path on a winding road. You easily do the swerving moves to avoid hitting it. But if your brakes were applied you could swerve right off the curve down a cliff. I trust my braking instincts and would never want the car to make the choice to brake.
