Consumer Description

At highway speeds, using autopilot, my car will suddenly and powerfully brake to a full stop unless I intervene. If this happens with traffic behind me, they must brake hard to avoid hitting me. Also the forward collision warning activates when there is no reason. I have many video recordings, of my dash, the events and the road, while this is happening. How do I send video to you?
