For truly blind corners, yes. However, I don't have great faith in my ability to correctly judge all partially blind corners, and occasionally find myself surprised.

I don't advocate slamming on the brakes seconds before the turn, there's such a thing as slowing down safely as well.

All of this is something AIs will be nearly infinitely better at doing safely than even a minimally impaired (tired, distracted) human driver.
