It's on Tesla's own forums, so if they're not aware of it by now, I don't know what to say.
Again- everybody using radar cruise is aware of this- in every brand of car.
I even cited a bunch with links to owners manuals mentioning this.
This. Is. Not. A. Tesla. Specific. Issue.
It's an inherent limit of the technology.
Bugs are normal, but this is serious.
Is it?
Last time you insisted it was dangerous and would cause accidents- so I asked for any examples of it having done so in a Tesla- since TACC has been around for ~8 years now, surely you could provide some.
You couldn't.
Tesla has the advantage of they're trying to solve vision- which if they actually manage to do it should GREATLY reduce the chances of the car braking incorrectly compared to, say, a Toyota that only has the single front radar sensor to rely on.
But even that won't eliminate it 100%- because even humans sometimes brake incorrectly because they misunderstood what they saw for a second.
The great news though is as more and more cars have some sort of radar cruise and emergency braking tech, the cars BEHIND you will immediately notice your car slowing even on a false positive, and themselves slow to insure safety.
