I had good luck this morning on highway, for about 10 seconds I was sitting in a runaway car without anyway to kill it.
I was using autopilot on highway (lane keep and adaptive cruise) and want to take exit, so I gently push gas pedal to maintain speed and push shift lever up, the autopilot indicator disappeared from screen so I take off the gas pedal but surprisingly _NO_ re-gen brake ( I have the maximum re-gen setting ), the car maintain speed as it was. I though it might still in the adaptive cruise mode, so I applied brake. _NO_ brake! the car keeps maintaining speed and closer to the car in front of me. I tried change lane but the gas pedal didn't work either, _NO_ acceleration!
In desperation I re-engage the autopilot by pull lever down, autopilot did engaged and brake again everything backs to normal.
I immediately request Tesla service to download my car log for diagnosis, it seemed a software issue might get me killed this morning. Hope they can find what's wrong and fix it ASAP.
My car is Model 3 built on Dec 2018 with Autopilot no FSD.
