This probably needs to be added to a safety test suite. Either for the cars or for drivers.

Most adapative cruise control systems explicitly ignore stationary objects while at highway speeds. A vehicle immediately ahead that stops will be detected and responded to. A vehicle that did not move while in sensor range will be ignored.

Also seems like the stopped car could emit a signal that self-driving cars could pick up.

That could be abused really easily if anyone ever figured out how.

It’s have no idea if the risk is worse than the reward or not.

Look into Kia Boys and you will know that this idea would never work in modern USA culture
