It should help for disambiguating scenarios that lead to phantom stops or not stopping on time, which has killed Tesla drivers before, such as by driving full speed into the back of a truck with some glare.

Maybe? I don't remember the cases but there is some confusion with autopilot (cruise control) vs. FSD sometimes. Autopilot is a completely different system and nobody should be surprised if it leads to crashes when misused.
