I think the intention matters. If you did it to spite the guy behind you then you are at fault. If you did it because you thought something might cross the road and just wanted to be safe then it's not your fault even if nothing crossed the road or nothing was really there.

or lack of intention. If an engine throws a rod, if a driveshaft pole vaults, if a wheel falls off, or a suspension component catastrophically fails.

These are all realistic sudden stop issues that our laws mostly accommodate.

No, those are not "sudden stop" situations either.

In fact the worst thing to do is to stop suddenly.

Even if a wheel falls off, you do not slam on the brakes unless you want to lose even more control.

Tesla’s FSD/autopilot does not act with intention as we understand it.

No intention, no fault. But definitely unsafe lane change, I think.
