They stop much quicker than humans operating car brakes.
They also don't panic and stamp madly on all the pedals, mix the pedals up entirely, or thrash the steering wheel around wildly to swerve all over the road.

That's where I was going with the 'control traction' bit but yeah I've seen drivers just jump on the accelerator too so that's a handy one... like this bus driver carrying us to Ghent...
And this is a "professional" driver, carting 70 people around in a huge vehicle.. fucking it up in a frickin' carpark.
hippy
Sensors connected to brakes. Cars stop.
They stop much quicker than humans operating car brakes.
Apart from spotting the hazard earlier, they can control traction and communicate the hazard to other vehicles, preventing other injuries.
