No Autobrake at Low Speed

[PianoAl]

I was hoping the autobrake would kick in at low speed (as when parking) but it does not. I tried backing in a garbage can and I got beeps, but no brakes.

Why do you think they didn't implement it for low speeds?

Because you don't want a car fighting for control with you while you are trying to park. Sure you want it to brake in a specific situation but when you WANT it to let you pull close the FSD algorithms can't always match what you are expecting or thinking.

It comes on below 5 mph. Turn it on in the driving menu item. Work perfect forward or backward.

Sounds like you are not in hold mode.

Perhaps your battery is full with no room for regen?

I believe the OP is asking about why Automatic Emergency Braking isn't engaging at slow speeds and not asking about regenerative braking. Or more correctly if backing up the OP wants AP to "take over" control of the car if it "thinks" you are about to back into something (since Automatic Emergency Braking only works above 35MPH).

Of course the OP is a newbie and post is ambiguous so I may be confused on this.

Yes, that's that's pretty much what I was asking. More specifically, I was asking why that feature isn't implemented it at those speeds. I understand the reasoning, above.

Our last car had a few bumps and scrapes that would have been avoided had the car automatically stopped, but perhaps the warning tones will be enough to avoid those in the future.

This option is a $2,000 if you have a SR model
