While that is how you should do it most of the time (depending on how the radius, gradient and your visual range changes as you progress around the curve), my observation of brake lights suggests that this is rarely practiced in the USA.
The amount of braking that can be seen on multi-lane divided highways is far higher than would be necessary if drivers were paying due attention - or not resting their left foot on the brake pedal, as the case may be.

You are conflating effective driving habits with actual driving habits. I'd say less than 5% of drivers in the states properly brake before curves and accelerate through. Hell, I'd be surprised if the model trained after human behavior DIDN'T leave it's lane when navigating a turn.

Unfortunately, at least in the Northeast Corridor, almost no one does this.

Thank you. I have a list of things and I want to add. And it is really long
I read in another comment that you are still in high school, so maybe the above is because you do not have actual driving experience. But this is not how human drivers drive.
Human drivers brake before the curves, while usually accelerate during curves. This improves stability.
This is something you may want to consider for your next iterations. In any case, congratulations for your impressive work!
