EAP Break Checked the car I passed

Have had this hard braking happen twice. Wasn't paying enough attention to details of surroundings the first time; sent in a detailed bug report the second time - including overpass observation. I really hope someone at Tesla is looking into this. As surprising as the sudden braking is, it will be a lot worse when the person behind me rear-ends me.
 
So driving to work this morning with Enhanced Auto Pilot. I pass another vehicle, wait a bit then move back out of the left lane and immediately the car decides to break. No cars within range in front of me. I hit the accelerator as fast as I could so I wouldn't be a complete douche to the car behind me, but I felt bad for them.

There was an overpass coming up, but it was a fairly overcast morning and no real shadows, so I'm not sure what triggered the car deciding to hit the breaks.

Anyone else experience this?


Yes I don’t know what it is with overpasses but I’ve seen this often. I have seen severe events of braking with earlier versions on the model S. It’s not clear why the NN has problems with overpasses

Elon to do list:
1/ 5k cars a week. Check
2/ secure funding for private sale at $420 a share
3/ fix sudden braking on AP
