Well before indeed...it first was available in the mid '90s. It was 2006 that adaptive cruise control systems that could work in stop and go traffic came out.

That 4th power law works both ways. A 40 ft bus 2 axle bus with 80 passengers will weigh about 40 000 pounds. The axle weight is 20 000, so by the 4th power law the damage is proportional to 2 x 20 000^4 = 3.2 x 10^17. If instead those 80 p
