Braking suddenly is a great way to cause a crash.

Autonomous vehicle target being tailgated, operate device in front vehicle and autonomous vehicle slams on its brakes and gets rear-ended.

But that's not special. Vehicle brakes all the time and they/we don't optimize for a tailgater. That's an optimization to be deferred to the tailgater.
