This same scenario happened to me (pre 8.0), small foil bag of chips floated in front of my model S at highway speed.
However, just an important clarification which I think was eluded to in a previous post.
When the highlighted car picture appeared on my dash along with the emergency alert sound, it was accompanied with a let-up on acceleration resulting in a very brief but immediate deceleration, say from 65mpg to 60mph but then just as quickly back to normal speed after passing the bag. Unless someone was extreme tailgating, like a foot from my rear bumper, I don't think it would have caused any danger.
My experience was definitely not braking in the sense of locking up the brakes on the highway.
