the system may apply the brakes, may alert the driver by using an audio and visual alert, and may operate your vehicle brake lights.

(Defensive driving can sometimes be to claim your lane and hold onto it. This prevents a group of knuckleheads from swerve driving all over the place or suddenly cutting you off and brake checking you. You claim your space and they leave you alone. Checkmating them three moves in advance and prevented a problem.)
People are very aggressive drivers here. In heavy traffic, if you leave proper distance between you and the next car, people will cut in front of you.
