Probably giving too much control to the car.
I wouldnt mind if the car applied the brakes after an impact to ensure the vehicle came to and stayed at a stop. But as for the car autonomously braking for me =\ That's just ultimately losing control of your most important function of the car. Regardless how good computers are becoming; my windscreen wipers have went haywire twice already with the car suffering with the FEM faults like many others. Having auto brake on cruise is bad enough and usually I will just disengage cruise to slow down manually - especially on motorways which have a reduced limit.
Chances are the car wouldn't spot 'pop up' threats any quicker than you. It is a computer after all and you have a brain - so there is no advantage to be had against deer etc. And if you're worried about rear ending stationary traffic then you need to respect that you're driving what can be a killing machine and pay more bloody attention to the road.
