Phantom braking is the result of software defects (and possibly hardware defects as well.) The entire job of TACC is to function in the driving environment. If it can't do that then it's just 'plain' cruise control.
I use FSD far more often than TACC but recently I've used TACC several times and been quite disappointed. I had it brake from 60 MPH down to 20 MPH on the highway. There was no one else around so I just let it go to see what it would do but what other adaptive cruise system does that?
Of course, Tesla doesn't have "plain" cruise control because it knows better than its owners (and some non-owners).
