Wouldn't the problem still exist with driving too closely?  It would still take
XX feet to stop a charging car traveling at YY mph.  Yes a computer can react
more quickly than a person, but .2 seconds is trivial when you need 30 feet to
stop and the car in front of you is only 20 feet away! :-)  I think people are
trying to make computers do things they are not suited for.  Wonder what 
comp.risks has to say about this.....
