Emergency steering correction?

[Boggle]

So tonight driving home I was going round a long wide corner at around 60mph and I suddenly got a warning noise and ‘emergency steering correction’ (or similar) pop up in a red box.

No actual feel of a steering correction and definitely wasn’t warranted.

Has anyone else had this?

Anyone know why this occurred?

I’m in an SR+ on latest software, no FSD and no AP on at the time

Yeh this has started happening to me with some frequency since the latest software update.

LR. Driving normally at the time

Yes. There have been several reports in similar circumstances since new update 2020.8.1

Yep, happened twice to me, normally when the nearside camera is blinded, so how its judged I'm too close to the kerb (I'm not) no idea.

I've had this happen twice. On a straight road when passing a bush or pole that was close to the edge of the road. Same thing though. In no danger of hitting it, but it passed close. No actual correction, just a warning. And I'm not on 2020.8.1 yet.

That’s a worry as had put it down to the update I got 2 days ago

I read somewhere that 2020.8 had been pulled ?? (If that is the case then cars which already have that have, historically, been prioritised for download of next release)

It does still seem to be very slowly continuing to roll but there is now 2020.8.1.1 that only a couple of cars have had for a few days. Maybe a revision is being tested.

Before the last update I have had this happen 2 times in 6 months.

Since the update 6 times in a week.

Similar, I have noticed this maybe once before, now twice in the past week. I didn't notice any actual steering correction with the recent events, just the warning. (after the 8.1 update)

Happened to me in a Model S (2020.4.1) a couple of weeks ago. Steering briefly corrected when I didn't think there was an issue. I contacted Tesla via app to check. They said car was ok and had logged "side collision avoidance system activated to avoid an object on the left side." Its been fine since.

This has started happening on my M3 SR+ since the latest update. Driving down the same country lane I always have on the way to work. I have felt some steering input from the car which feels pretty dangerous when I am actually in control. Is there a way of turning this off???

 

[Boggle]

Not that I’ve found. Hoping next update rectifies

Disabled as I don’t want to risk an unexpected “correction”.

2020.8.1.1 Raven LR+ MX:
It scared the snot out of me, I thought something was wrong with the car. It was a road I'd driven thousands of times (literally) in cars with Lane Departure Warning/Assist, and a dozen times in the Tesla before it went insane.

35 mph zone, 1 lane goes into 2 lanes, but lanes are unmarked. AP off. BZZZZ!!! INCOMING KLINGON BATTLECRUISER. EMERGENCY MANEUVER!

After 8.1 update this has happened 4 or 5 times for me. Disabled it now too.

Happens to me several times a day driving on country roads with no discernible curb/pavement. Sometimes the steering does feel affected (for a millisecond).

Doesn't always coincide with the camera reporting as being blocked (this has happened a number of times over the last week too [mind you I only got my M3 last Monday]).

Disabled as I don’t want to risk an unexpected “correction”.

I seem to have to do that on every trip (resets itself) - is that normal?
