ALL new sensor inputs can lead to phantom braking, if you define PB as any braking action that appears, to the human, to have no clear cause. And, in that context, the nav system (maps) are a sensor input. It's never going to go away totally for a couple of reasons: (a) the car will always be more cautious than humans (you can thank the liability lawyers for that) and (b) the car will spot potential dangers that humans miss.To my knowledge Lidar doesn't introduce phantom braking events.
Radar has known phantom braking due to a noisy signal, and lack of resolution (especially what Tesla uses).
Vision has known phantom braking with things like shadows. It took Subaru years to evolve their eyesight into something that works reasonably well.
My biggest issue with Phantom braking for awhile now hasn't been due a sensor, but other sources. Sources such as Nav issues or the car suddenly tracking the car in the lane next to mine for who knows what reason.
Heck sometime I'll get phantom phantom braking. Meaning the car will flash something like "stopping for signal" on a freeway where it never actually phantom brakes. It just warns me that its highly considering it.
I'm not saying the car should not be improved, of course it should, but PB will never go away totally.
