Maybe a “stop gracefully” mode?
If you hit the big red button going 65mph on the center lane of a crowded highway, it could be bad. Especially if the tech starts to feel safe enough that cars can travel close enough to use the draft from cars ahead.
I think an emergency brake works for trains because they’re isolated.
