That’s an highway, you cannot randomly stop there. She didn’t crash into ducks.

The tesla crash in question happened on a freeway, in california where stopping on the freeway is illegal.

It was also an unsafe lane change which caused the pile up, not just the braking.

Right, same as what the Tesla did, suddenly stopping on a highway (being in a tunnel makes it worse, as there's no runoff room to the sides).
