I almost died on a freeway when my Subaru Outback decided there was something in front and engaged full braking.
110 kmh to 40 before it realized it was wrong.
pure luck nobody was following too close.
If you try to brake a motorcycle as fast as you would a car, it has a tendency to flip over. And in general different vehicles have different stopping distances, so "just have the whole line of cars all panic brake at once" is going to have them smashing into each other.
Only if they are all driving too close the the car in front. If you keep to the recommended 3 seconds separation you will most often be fine even in bad weather. I drive my Tesla S on Autopilot with the separation set to the maximum which is about 3 seconds and it makes for a comfortable motorway driving experience.
As long as the vehicle behind you is also equipped with AEB, you should be ok.
