Yes I’m sure that driverless cars are purposefully trying to cause rear end accidents by brake checking.

Your reply is totally relevant in the context of someone blaming driverless cars for stopping when it doesn’t know what to do.

I've been brake checked by a cruise car in SF. I had a dash cam and had I hit it I'm confident I would have been cleared and the robo car that stopped suddenly randomly in the middle of traffic would have been at fault.

They literally have signs on them that say "warning, stops suddenly" , not a joke, literally
