Consumer Description

I have encountered several "phantom" braking events while driving my Tesla Y in auto-pilot mode, all on the freeway or highway. This most recent event occurred while returning from Las Vegas. In each case, something dark across the road triggered the event. In two cases it was dark asphalt strips that were perpendicular to the highway. in the other case, it was a dark shadow of a bridge across the highway. I assume the car's auto-pilot system thought these things were solid objects and therefore braked. I captured each phantom braking event on the car's built-in camera and am enclosing the screen captures.
