It can't reduce the reaction time much, because it isn't that large in the first place. It might or might not reduce decision time: after all, sometimes braking isn't the appropriate response, a quick lane change could well be better. (Or in the case of deer, hitting it instead of swerving, going into the ditch, and rolling.) I'm not sure that automatic systems are capable of making such decisions reliably.
