There's no reason why you can't drive it to the brink of a crash and then have it recover for you. The 'brink' in this case is the latest the computer can reliably recover - not a point 100ms before an unavoidable collision.

But why would you want that? Why wouldn't you want to use a system that can get you to your destination much faster, cheaper and safer[0], only because you want to experience the "fun" of being in a traffic jam? [0] - self-driving cars constantly talking with each other could drive much closer to each other than current "safe distance", much faster, while utilizing aerodynamic effects to conserve fuel, and that system would still in principle be safer than human drivers.
