Consumer Description
I was driving in a "train" of vehicles at about 65 mph using "autopilot" when my Tesla model Y slammed on the brakes when the paving changed color. I was almost rear-ended by the unsuspecting car behind me. Emergency braking without a valid reason, or even an observable reason, has occurred several times since we took delivery of then car two years ago, but not as severely. I am reporting this 2021 incident now due to the recent publicity. I urge the NHTSA to clamp down on beta testing of vehicle automation by unsuspecting new owners. Vehicle automated driving on public streets is a threat to public safety.
