Tesla’s ‘phantom braking’ problem is getting worse
2022 Model Y with FSD. I use Autopilot 50+ miles a day, and use it 98% of the way on trips from San Diego to SF. It infrequently phantom brakes, and more often brakes hard and late and sometimes people think I'm brake-checking them. It also is annoying slow to recover back to cruise speed from a slow down. Also if you're in the right lane when the two right lanes merge- it is totally unreliable, I've been sandwiched between an 18-wheeler and the gutter. But that said, once you learn the quirks it is extremely predictable and robust. I have used it on snowy mountain roads in Tahoe, a sandstorm at Salton Sea, and thousands of highway miles. If you have the minimum distance set to 2 or 3 car lengths, you should not be complaining about late and hard braking- that's the setting you chose. The phantom braking is annoying but infrequent, and you can quickly override it with an accelerator tap. My suggestion to Tesla would just be to have a debug button where you can report and elevate the past 10 seconds of driving.
