So this happened.
Driving on 80 in SF bay area. Following the pickup in front on autopilot, suddenly autopilot backed off the car in front slowing quickly. I was thinking of overriding it when I saw the car in front of me rear end stopped traffic in front of him. Autopilot radar was able to see traffic i could not, glad I didn't hit the accelerator. Watch closely and you can see the distance to the pickup increase right before impact. Luckily slow speed collision.
See below, action at 0:46
