The entire four years with my M3, AP has been great, except for this one specific spot on one certain overpass. It brakes for no reason, at that exact same spot every single time. Of course, I just press the accelerator to push through it. Should always be paying attention when using Autopilot anyway.
But, other side of the coin… If people are relying on AP for long commutes, but don’t use it because of a bad track record of phantom breaking for them, then I suppose it’s fair they kick up a stink.
Definitely overblown in the media, however. People are of course going to pick up on it negatively, and not even read the article to fully understand how relatively minor the issue is. Bleh…
The truth is most cars with some type of adaptive cruise do this at a lot of underpasses, its some fluke with the way the forward facing radar works. But teslas now have ditched the radar for the most part so Im curious if its gotten any better.
