NHTSA Complaint #11363121 — 2019 TESLA MODEL 3

WHILE DRIVING IN THE LEFT-MOST LANE ON MOPAC EXPRESSWAY IN AUSTIN (ALTHOUGH HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIMES AND PLACES AS WELL) WITH "FULL SELF DRIVING" AUTOPILOT ENGAGED (AND WITH THE CAR HAVING BEEN IN CONTROL FOR QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE THIS), THE VEHICLE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I IMMEDATELY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO OVERRIDE THE BREAKING ACTION AND AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED AS A RESULT, HOWEVER IT DID CAUSE MULTIPLE CARS BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO BRAKE. SIMILAR ISSUES INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE, HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO BE DOING IT MUCH MORE OFTEN NOW. I'M UNABLE TO UPLOAD IT, BUT I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO FROM THE VEHICLE ITSELF SHOWING THE INCIDENT.
