I figured it was all caused by automatic transmissions and the need to use your brakes to slow down at all, the person behind you sees brakes lights and they apply their brakes as well, if you look ahead on the highway you will see it happen all the time, traffic ahead never slows fully but each person who uses their brakes slows down just a little more until someone comes to a stop.
