Consumer Description

Since Tesla has disabled the radar, and went to vision only, my car is a nightmare to drive on autopilot or FSD on two lane roads at night. Phantom braking, numerous times it has went onto the shoulder thinking an oncoming car a 1/4 away was in our lane, twice it even went into the oncoming traffic lane. Never did this when radar was enabled. My car has radar but they turned it off in software update
