If you are giving proper following distance, it shouldn't be needed. Most people follow way too close, doubly so in snowy conditions.

I can usually maintain average velocity around 2-5 mph so I don't have to stop and go, but auto-driving cars will accelerate and brake hard, which makes it hard for me to judge whether we're out of the present traffic and I'm holding up people behind by not accelerating, or whether I should continue the crawl. Correct following distance in that traffic is ~3-4 metres (~10-12 feet) which is easy to maintain against a human or against an auto-car you know is auto-driving, but that takes a few seconds to calibrate that it's auto-driving. I've made many rush hour commutes from my home in Glen Park to SOMA with very few brake-use events¹ and travel team equivalent to original Google Maps prediction. ¹ One of the many metrics I attempt to min-max during all of my drives
