Consumer Description
On Saturday night between 9:30 to 9:45 PM while driving on 495, Tesla Model Y 2022, Auto pilot was engaged at 70 miles per hour in three lane highway. My car was in middle lane with no vehicle in front in any of lanes. Suddenly without any warning, auto pilot was disengaged and car moved from 70 mph to 30 mph within few seconds shockingly. I was alert to pull accelerator in timely manner and avoided a possible rear-ended accident . It was scary moment with family onboard and luckily cars where behind enough to evade a possible disastrous accident. This must be fixed
