" It probably would've helped in all *these* cases where the failure mode was "car didn't know what to do and just shut itself down in a travel lane"."

Unless the car just came to a screeching halt and the driver behind was a bit too close. A car shutting itself down if it gets confused might solve one issue, but generate several more. I don't see this as being better.
