I have radar and have had some PB experiences in the past, havent had any in about 6months. The ones I did have recently can be explained by EXACTLY what you mentioned above. The car thinks I'm off a highway so it limits speed to 5 over what it thinks the limit is. It took me a while to realize what was happening. I kept being told radar sees an overpass yadayadayada.... but I paid attention to the speedometer and indicated speedlimit in the car once and saw it drop when I went near the overpass (I think it thought I was on an off ramp or the road above). So that is no longer "PB" to me, its explained. Hopefully this latest map update remedies that.Yes - I’ve experienced the phantom braking and it sure scares the out of ya. But here is an interesting twist and not sure others have noticed this. I’d have AP engaged and set to 75mph in a 65mph zone. Traffic was all moving at 75mph or more. I crossed from a 65mph zone to a 55mph zone (everyone was still driving 75mph) and the AP braked aggressively to, yes, get the speed down to 55mph. Was a little surprised when this happened and it has happened more than once. Now I’m starting to wonder if some (and I do mean some) of these phantom braking issues are related to AP moving between speed zones.
I used to get PBs from trucks pulling up next to me which i think was the vision part of TACC over reacting, but I honestly cant remember the last time thats happened.
