Consumer Description

“Phantom braking” episode: While driving on a two lane freeway using Tesla branded Autopilot (not full self drive) the car automatically and suddenly braked, reducing speed approximately from 70 mph to below 50 mph before manual intervention. This happened with no car in front or behind and while approaching a car in the lane to the right while also approaching an overpass. I also noticed there was a patch of uneven colored pavement beneath the overpass. One passenger in the front seat was thrust into her seatbelt in the event.
