The brakes themselves are no better, you can save time by removing the input lag between the driver and the controls. There's 20 feet of braking saved by not having to move your foot from the floor to the pedal. Also the car can signal it's intent to the steering, braking, and throttle instead of the car having to guess at what the driver is doing from their inputs. A car knowing it has to swerve around something can react sooner and differently than if it has to guess that it's swerving around something.
