Cars have had automatic braking systems like this for ages. The driver is always going to be the one responsible (short of some actual fault in the car)
At no point would or should the liability shift. Even in the case of autopilot. The driver still remains in complete control of the vehicle and it is their responsibility to not crash it. These automatic braking systems kick in at the last possible second. Things are already pretty bad if they are doing their job

I don’t know if they meet all the requirements of this law, but I’ve seen Subarus, BMWs, and a Porsche that all had some form of automatic braking.
I think the Porsche was the oldest, around 2015-2016. It could keep even keep pace with the car in front of you

Precedent set by older, and very similar, technology seems pretty relevant if we’re talking about liability

Most manufacturers have these types of systems but none are up to the new standard. They’re often called forward collision warning/avoidance systems.
It’s been in my last 3 cars and they weren’t luxury vehicles. They were low 20k Honda, Toyota, and Nissan.
