Hmmm - my 2016 and 2020 Mercedes GLEs have a combined mileage > 220,000km
- zero phantom breaking
- 2 legit emergency breaking events - both cars reacted faster than I did and stopped short of the collisions unfolding in front of me
I commute and drive with tacc w/ steering assist ~ 80% of the time and use auto lane change a lot
ie this has already been figured out - there should be no need to accept compromise. Tesla has chosen to do things differently, optical only while my Mercs have 2 rear, 2 forward short range and 1 or 2 long range radars in addition to the optical system but...
That being said, I’ve had my new MY about for about 2 weeks (~1500km) and have had zero PB events. AP has performed beautifully under a variety road and lighting conditions including a 400km round trip of mixed driving yesterday (fast/slow highway, rural 2 lane, trucks, shadows etc) - zero issues - no complaints from the wife
I did miss auto lane change - I wish Tesla would bring EAP back or just offer that feature standalone - AP feels incomplete without it.
My MY was delivered with 2022.11.101.1, maybe Tesla has worked it out - hope there are no regressions in future updates.
Can’t comment on emergency braking, hope that isn’t tested anytime soon
