Happened again today at about the same spot approaching the same intersection, but with the light remaining green the entire time, and no slow down of traffic ahead. Last time it slowed right at the instant that the light turned yellow, but it looks like it was pure coincidence.

Had autopilot on yesterday while driving on surface streets (hands on wheel, paying close attention), and I was surprised when it started to brake when a light turned yellow while approaching an intersection. There was plenty of time to get through the intersection before it turned red, so I...

I carry this plug kit: Tubeless Tire Repair Kit 9 Pc. It might seal better than slime given the foam, but you have to be able to find the leak and remove the nail/whatever. I carry a multitool too. I also have a can of fix-a-flat, first aid kit, portable snow shovel, etc... :)

I don't know about these stopping distances in the real world, but I recall from high school physics that adding weight to a car will not increase the stopping distance if you have enough braking power to lock up the wheels. E.g. if you double the weight, you double the available traction from...
