So...dont brake suddenly. Decelerate, buy some time to collect and analyze more data and if the end result still appears to be a collision, then brake hard.
If a human driver started hallucinating behind the wheel, we would expect them to do the same, not maintain speed (or accelerate!) through the supposed object in their path.
This tech was supposed to be safer and more convenient than human driving, not a simulation of the decision-making abilities of a 12-year-old playing Grand Theft Auto.

This requires the automated brake computers to be connected to the autonomous cruise computers. According to the article, in most cars, these computers are separate systems.
It's like if one person operated the brake pedal, another operated the gas, and a third steering the car. When one hallucinates, the others might not realize right away.
