Couple of days ago I was driving in Central London with my partner and as you know the traffic is insane so you can't really go that fast any way. We were at a stop light and I saw a child and a woman behind him crossing the road. Now the woman was wearing a black burqa (Muslim veil) and by the time the lights turned green, she was well out of my Tesla's path.
We moved forward and suddenly without any reason the Tesla decided to do a full on brake that just took me and my partner in complete shock because it was so dramatic and abrupt, as if the car had hit a solid wall.
Now you can understand how the cars behind me reacted by honking and drivers waving hands like wtf?
I really think this AEB is in it's current state dangerous as it can easily cause an accident rather than prevent one. I am now seriously thinking about disabling it. What do you guys think? Have you had this sort of experience? I was on 2019.36.2.2 when this happened. I don't know if the long black veil the woman was wearing that freaked the car out as it was flowing behind her.
A month ago after the V10 update I experienced phantom braking on the motorway which really weakened my confidence in the whole Tesla AP concept. And now I am thinking why would anyone pay so much money for FSD when at least in the UK it's a complete waste of money? My whole confidence in the Tesla advanced software or AI is far from what it used to be when I bought into Elon's promise of the Tesla when I got one late last year. I still have almost three years to go before handing it on as I have PCP. I guess the good thing is that at that time there will be plenty of EVs from other manufacturers to choose from but now I doubt I will go for another Tesla again.
