Consumer Description

The forward collision warning censor gives an absurd number of false positives. I have Tesla insurance, and the insurance rate is HEAVILY affected by forward collision warnings. Nearly every day, one is triggered with -nothing- in front of me. I mean empty road ahead. Or, a car is about 7 car lengths ahead of me, they begin to slow down to make a turn, begin their turn, and nearly exit the lane. Without slowing down, and still 3 car lengths ahead, I get an angry forward collision warning and a major increase in insurance with -zero- risk of accident. It seems to happen most frequently at low speeds
