screen rebooted on it's own while driving

So, I was driving home, navigating on autopilot with a destination in the nav, when all of a sudden the screen went black, the air blasted on full for a few seconds, and then the Tesla logo appeared. It rebooted after 30 seconds or so and it acted fine the rest of the way home.

Anyone had something like this happen before? I updated to 28.6 this morning before the drive. Drive to my destination worked fine (45 min drive each way).

did AP (or anything else) drop out?
Did nav reset or otherwise forget where it was going?

I had my first Y reboot yesterday. 2020.36.12

The most important aspect of reboot IMO is that drivers be aware that it can happen. Of course I was going 85mph. Speed control stayed engaged. Don't know if TACC was working. In the future I plan to always tap the brake when the screen goes blank.

Not a biggie as long as the driver remembers to "fly the plane first".

Screen went blank with just the “T” while B was driving and K searching for music. Why? Like dimodifyd air blasted, then screen restored to nav, not music search. Driving this car just a few weeks.

The good thing is that you can continue driving, you just lose information. The screen has a tendency to crash once after a new software update. You can force a reboot of the screen after an update to reduces your chances of it happening while you drive. I've seen multiple screen crashes when using Youtube, Netflix or the web browser but not in general driving.

I believe FSD is completely unrelated to that screen. I think there's another computer specifically for FSD. As I said, the car continues to work perfectly fine even with that screen off.
Yup, IIRC from investor/autonomy day.. there are actually two independent motherboards/processors for FSD... but still, none of these systems should be rebooting while underway. It's very disruptive and distracting.
