an autonomous vehicle will see what the cars ahead are doing, as well
as communicating with them via v2v (which doesn't require autonomy).

of course it would, and an autonomous vehicle would react *much* faster
than a human ever could should another vehicle make a sudden stop.

autonomous vehicles have multiple cameras, radar and lidar, constantly
imaging 360 degrees around the vehicle, including at night or through
fog.
