Specific TACC observation on 28.2

[silenteski]

On 28.2, TACC seems to react to stopped traffic much further in the distance than it previously did. It results in a more natural and gradual deceleration as the car approaches a stationary vehicle.

Has anyone else observed this on 28.2, or are you still seeing abrupt braking when you approach stationary vehicles?

I got a little nervousness the other day at 1 light. But after 5 days of having it, that was the only time. So possibly lessened.

I'm only on 24.4 and I feel like its increased its detection distance.

There are two intersections where I've had to take over to avoid collision. The braking distance would not have been enough without incident. I'm not going to find out the hard way either. That was with 24.4 and anything previous. 28.2 loaded yesterday but I've not been back to the same two intersections but will report back if I am less nervous. One is a light just around a slight bend to the right at 45 MPH where the camera and driver can't see the light until well into the turn. The other is a slight bend to the left at 45 MPH, the camera and driver can't see ahead of the curve when the oncoming traffic lane is full of cars. In each case the car maintains speed until I give in. Anyone finding similar?

With abrupt stopping being reported, how will Tesla handle icy road conditions? Skid, fishtail avoidance will probably be more prevalent in the winter....take caution.

by the time winter arrives we will be at least 2,3 or 4 software versions further ahead.
The OP specifically called out that they were seeing smoother braking, not abrupt.

Maybe where you are. What about those in the southern hemisphere or at height or very high latitudes?

Are you referring to “Phantom Braking”.

Personally I don’t use AP/TACC off the highway. It’s really not geared up for it.

As the poster who raised the winter warning was in Florida....
I wasn’t aware that height affected seasons

But to the point, the OP was specifically calling out improved braking distances and not abrupt braking which makes the point moot.

If you are concerned about those things then you should be driving and not letting the automation do it.
