This video was taken today, shortly after the car slammed on the brakes when it decided that the speed limit was 20mph while on the highway, and normal traffic flowing at 70mph. It appears that the GPS suddenly decided that the car was somewhere completely different, about 1/2 mile away in a residential area. The only way I could keep the car from slamming on the brakes while on AP was to hold down the accelerator. And even then it was a challenge.
On top of all the bugs and failings of autopilot and FSD Beta, this new “bug” is dangerous beyond measure. Im seriously considering taking autopilot offline for a year or so and then reassessing. Thank god there was no one behind me when the car suddenly decided we were in a residential area and slammed on the brakes.
The GPS is still wrong now, moreover, despite resetting with the two scroll wheels, and powering off the car.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix? Thanks.
Edit: for clarity, the slamming down of the brakes happened BEFORE I started recording video. The video shows the car rapidly changing max AP speeds from 55/40/15mph while on the highway, and I’m holding down the accelerator to keep the car from doing it again.
