Pretty sure the right answer mainly involves the car knowing about the weather and other emergency events.

It doesn't take much of a rainstorm to see localized flooding. Some debris over the storm drain is enough to flood a street. Hard to anticipate that happening.
Dangerous localized flooding has also occurred for other reasons unrelated to weather, like broken dams or embankments.
It can also occur downstream many many miles from the rain - see flash floods in the desert from mountain rains far away - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORJtxkuD62E
All that it can take is a broken fire hydrant in the wrong place.
