Scary moment today. M6 77mph fast lane. Autopilot 1 active. Traffic slows ahead and I was a distance behind a grey/white minivan, which is also slowing.

My Modrl S continues to do 77 and I suddenly realise it is not going to stop! I put down my book....Brake hard, all is well.

(No I wasn't really reading!)

The sun was shining. I wonder if it had confused the AP sensors.

Not one to be repeated.

Ps Keele services southbound with just 4 bays, was queueing when I got there. Seemed to be full of Manchester United responded fans! Did not realise they all drove Tesla!
 
that should be radar if the vehicle in front of you was moving.
Sun shouldn't have an effect.

Maybe check what you have your brake warning set to, I always kept mine on early, but even then it wasnt flawless on AP1.

Good reminder to pay attention though, and thank goodness no harm done.
