My Model 3 was driving with Navigate on Autopilot when another car changed into the lane in front of me. I expected it to brake or slow down automatically, but I got so close to the car that I had to manually brake. I have dashcam footage, and I'm wondering what the best way to report this to Tesla is. It seemed like a very typical scenario that could occur, so I imagine they'd be interested. I reported it over a week ago through the support on the Tesla website, but I haven't received any response. Any advice or is Tesla only interested in the early access program drivers?
Here's the full scenario in case anyone is interested. I'm also curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. My car was on NoA and changed 1 lane to the right as I was getting close to the highway exit. I had just gotten fully into the lane when a car in front and 1 lane to my right put on it's left blinker. The car started moving into my lane, but was going slower. It was about halfway into the lane when I got so close that I applied the brakes. I was surprised because in my experience the cruise control and autopilot have always been much more conservative, many times braking early or when it wasn't quite necessary. I'm thinking part of the issue may have been the car wasn't fully in my lane. Or maybe I have a faulty sensor.
