In the context of vehicular autonomy it's more complicated than that because for example a radar sensor picking up an overhead sign or a truck parked on the shoulder as if it's an obstruction on the road is something you want to ignore when you're going 80 MPH on the highway rather than slamming on the brakes. When you're the only vehicle on the road, stopping if anything goes wrong is always the safest idea. When you're one of hundreds of vehicles in a high speed flow of traffic stopping would put you and everyone else on the road at significantly greater risk.
