I'm sure this has been discussed. But when I search for phantom braking, all I'm finding is stuff about AEB, bridges, shadows, etc.
You know how the UI shows the surrounding traffic, and lights up the vehicle it is following or targeting or whatever you want to call it? During the day, that target vehicle or vehicles light up dark black. And in night mode, those target vehicles are lit up white. While all other non-target vehicles are just grey.
Let's say I'm in the left lane operating in TACC or AP. The car in front of me will be lit up as the target it's following. Then for reasons I can't understand, it will light up a vehicle in the lane next to me and slow down to match that vehicle's speed as if it is in my way. This is rather exciting if the lane next to me is moving slower or stopped. In stop and go traffic, my lane could go but the other lane is still stopped so I don't go. Or let's say I'm going 70 and the lane next to me is going 60, all of a sudden the car drops to 60 to "follow" that car in the other lane.
It doesn't do it all the time. And I can't find any reasonable common circumstance. The lane markings are all really good. There are no mistakable things like seams in the pavement. The car in the other lane is not drifting towards me or signalling. There is no actual real reason in reality for it to think that vehicle in the other lane should be a target to follow. The UI even shows it over in the other lane completely.
Has there been any official or unofficial explanation for this behavior? I can only assume it is some fusion error between the camera vision and radar vision not lining up. But it shows it lined up on the UI.
