Car might brake suddenly because it thinks two bicycles are right infront of it?

  Any car can break suddenly for any reason or no reason at all. It's not a tragic failure mode, instead, the desired situation is that all failures lead to this.

    Braking suddenly is a great way to cause a crash. Autonomous vehicle target being tailgated, operate device in front vehicle and autonomous vehicle slams on its brakes and gets rear-ended.

      But that's not special. Vehicle brakes all the time and they/we don't optimize for a tailgater. That's an optimization to be deferred to the tailgater.
