> On roads we have millions of vehicles, carrying on average a very small amount of people, around 1.5. For efficiency sake we have accepted the risk of staying within reaction distance instead of stopping distance between vehicles.

No. Unsafe drivers have illegally decided this, but in most jurisdictions it is your responsibility to stop your vehicle short of the one in front of you. You should be maintaining stopping distance from your vehicle to the one in front.
