Getting hit from behind in all of these scenarios means the people behind did not maintain proper distancing between vehicles. Especially the 3 car pile up. That's why you're supposed to leave one car length for every 10mph you're going, so you have enough space to cancel out your momentum. What if instead of a branch it was a dog or a child? And I've been to MANY places in the US where people drive terribly and completely unexpectedly. I've seen people put on a left turn signal then go into the RIGHT lane. I've seen someone pass on a one lane overpass, where the car in front was towing a heavy load What's good about these cars is they will ALL drive consistently, and the more people get used to them the easier it well be to drive with them because you will know how waymo cars react.
