Tesla really needs to turn this off. Not sure what happened with it but the original roll out worked well. I had one incident on a highway when a worker dragging a jack hammer up to the edge of the cones tripped it before I got to him. It was pretty cool to see it work having recorded it with the dashcam. I think I posted the video on this site over a year ago. A little startling but it worked. Over the last year it is really bad and doesn’t brake until you are way past the person. A good 15 - 20’ past them when it suddenly slams on the brakes. It just happened again the other day, girl walking home from bus stop, I pass her and then it slams on the brakes, I can actually see her in the rear view mirror, that’s how far beyond her I am. This is now the fourth time it has done this over the past year. The other two times person(s) were walking between cars and another occasion the person was on the left side of the road walking on the island towards the crosswalk. It sees them but I'm already past them before it engages. It seems to be the program is getting the message priority too late, pedestrian ahead..., where, back there now, ohh, slammo!!!
Not sure if this is unique to my vehicle or if others have noticed this behavior? Hopefully they fix it soon.
