From what I gather from the article the car didn't suddenly stop.

I still suspect it would be classed as dangerous driving as there wasn't a need to stop and they did find a safe place to stop.

If it did suddenly brake though and it was the car, that seems like something Tesla should be liable for. The time taken for any driver, when a car starts automatically braking, to assess the situation and override isn't going to be enough to avoid the dangerous situation.

The article links to another article with a video recording of the accident: https://theintercept.com/2023/01/10/tesla-crash-footage-auto...

The car does stop pretty suddenly.

-- not only does it stop suddenly - applies break - signals into a new lane - changes lane into new lane - breaks hard - well actually - if you watch the video frame by frame - it starts to initiate a left hand turn for lane change before it even signals - if a driver did this to me - sure i hit them --
