I drove a 2016 Sonata for many years with TACC and only ever experienced any form of phantom braking once. By contrast my Tesla experiences phantom braking multiple times in a single drive. It would be the same as a smoke alarm going off multiple times a day. If that was the case anyone would turn it off, as they would consider it defective. Bottom line, the Tesla AP / TACC is defective.Smoke alarms can alert when there’s no fire, burglar alarms can go off when there’s no burglar, and AEB can brake when there’s nothing there. These systems are not defective, they are experiencing false triggers. Every detection system is susceptible to them.
The Sonata, with tech from 2015 (when it was made), cost me 1/3 the price of my 2022 MS running tech that was updated a few weeks ago. So when exactly can we expect these incremental improvements?Tesla can and should make incremental improvements to reduce the error rate, but the only way to eliminate PB 100% is to cover all the cameras with tape.
