Sure, if you don't mind other cars going into the back of you when you stop in the middle of the highway, or when you're trying to swerve across to the shoulder through a lane of cars doing 70mph.
'Just stop' is not a solution to programming problems in heavy traffic, it's an accident waiting to happen.
