Consumer Description

I was driving on left lane of divided interstate highway in daytime with great visibility. There were no cars in front of me. I was using Tesla Autopilot with speed limit set to 75mph. Suddenly car applied brakes hard and within second of my reaction time dropped speed to 40mph, before I was able to press accelerator to override braking. Two cars behind me had to slam on the brakes and one had to swerve to avoid rear end collision. This phantom braking in very good conditions was totally unexpected and nearly ended up in high speed rear end collision with my wife and kids in the car.
