The actual calculation involves how fast the vehicle you’re following can decelerate, and your reaction time.
You can (usually) follow a large semi a bit closer because its braking distance is longer than yours.
But because of reduced visibility you can end up with “revealed brake checkmate” where the semi swerves into the next lane because a vehicle is stopped in the lane, which you then need to swerve or hit.
