On a long drive over the weekend I had yet another case of phantom braking.
It was in reasonably busy but fast traffic on a main (multi-lane) motorway. I had to hit
the throttle quickly because of the cars close behind. This is V9 - 42.2 BTW.
I'm pretty sure it was braking and not just slowing via regen, it seemed very strong.
I was wondering - where do you leave your foot when on a long autopilot trip?
I often have to brake because the autopilot doesn't deal with merging, but these
I can see a long way in advance and so there's plenty of time to react.
I occasionally have to hit the throttle because of phantom braking, and
for those I have to be quick because of the cars behind.
Its pretty uncomfortable to leave your foot hovering over the accelerator, although I
did that for a while after the last one.
