You think a motorcycle will do serious damage to a car driver when rear ending?

    Infinitely more damage than if not rear ended.

    Don't brake check on a highway. Also, semi-trucks exist.

    Emotional damage when they hit the inside of your front windshield like ground beef

It's coming. Already mandatory for all new motorcycles in some countries.

    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.
