Pedantic analysis of DMV regulations is absolutely essential. Clearly any dolt practicing defensive driving would anticipate the self driving car cutting him off and hard braking.
Stories like this make people think that full self driving is actually a car the drives itself fully. The car is safer than any human and by critically thinking about this we are preventing sales and essentially killing people, since Tesla has fewer deaths per mile travelled.
Not sure if you are being serious. How can you tell whether a car is driving autonomously? Expect it from any Tesla?
I haven't consciously ever seen a car driving itself. And I like to think of myself being pretty defensive as a driver. I'm not even sure if the feature is available in Australia.
But if there was a video of a Tesla doing anything, the fandom of Tesla is such that defenders would appear.
If you think following the most basic driving safety rule is 'pedantic', please don't drive.

The Tesla was 100% at fault, nothing can be done when you get cut off like that. But that's not the case for every single car behind them that failed to stop in time.

In my opinion Tesla has been criminally misleading with their avertising. The level of gaslighting they've been able to get away with is unbelievable.
It's also not just some arbitrary rule, it's a fundamental principle based on the rules of physics.
