Autopilot /Adaptive cruise getting worse
- Thread starter Jon_UK
- Start date
Just finished a drive down the M6. AP is no officially a F’in mess. Constantly panic braking for no reason while passing other vehicles in the inside lanes. They have broken it really well. I have numerous dash cams of events that will be submitted tomorrow, it’s now officially dangerous in my opinion!
So my Model 3 just stamped on the anchors on the M4 when the car to the left drifted slightly in its lane.
Unfortunately the car behind me was an unmarked police car who thought I brake checked him.
Very very very glad that I have a written record with both Tesla and VOSA highlighting the unnecessary and aggressive emergency braking, although I suppose a competent barrister could argue that getting in a vehicle I know to be dangerous is probably negligent.
Blue lights came on and he rocketed off up the road but I will not be surprised if I get a court summons based on video evidence. Would be mildly interesting to see if the police comment on the VOSA argument that the “Tesla has brake lights”.

Every software version in the last 12 months or so including 44.1 which I installed a few days ago.

This is what is happening to me. Any time a car in the next lane drifts over so slightly out of the middle of their lane (which literally happens all the time), my car freaks out and jabs the brakes.So my Model 3 just stamped on the anchors on the M4 when the car to the left drifted slightly in its lane.

Not sure which firmware introduced this behaviour, but it is fairly new and extremely unwelcome. Makes AP pretty much unusable!

It’s really started to happen when Tesla announced the camera “quality upgrade”. I noticed the difference immediately. Autopilot went from ok to a crock of sh1t overnight.

I would have hit the RECORD button ... I hope he was driving at a 2 second gap, more if it was wet ...

Maybe Tesla should make the software auto-record when there is an autopilot hard braking issue.
That said you’re gonna need a large USB stick

I am thinking that it is likely that he will have footage - so if you get a letter in the post then maybe request that?
Officer : "Car in front of me brake checked me"
You: "Prove it"
Office: "Here's the footage"
You: depending on how close he was ...
I think I would agree. Did a trip on the motorway on Saturday evening with AP on and no issues whatsoever. I guess I will just have to wait for spring :-(
I've had my Model 3 just under a week and we were driving to Loughborough yesterday form Reading and had about 6 or 7 phantom braking incidents in bright sunlight. They always seemed to happen when overtaking an HGV and then car dealing with it well and hard braking. I had it again on the way to work this morning on the M4 in the dark. Overtaking an HGV again. To think I cancelled an MG4 XPower order due to the Lane Keep Assist for this. I've also got the Premium Connectivity trial and it takes ages to get a 4G signal when leaving home and will randomly drop connection so I have to start my mobile hotspot which has no issues. They are both on the same O2 network which is more annoying.
Apart from that I'm loving the car...
