Consumer Description

I've experienced "phantom braking" about 5 times in the last 3 months, where the vehicle automatically braked aggressively when on Autopilot without another nearby object in front of it. Some of the cases are re-producible, especially going West on Route 66 near coordinate 38.84779147045726, -77.42673470607882, where there are overlapping bridges above the highway. The aggressive braking of my vehicle caused vehicles behind me to swerve. Also, I've experienced false forward collision warnings multiple times. The most re-producible one is going down a little hill and its bumps near 38.88456462883165, -77.49153173786168 going west. The others happened when going around a circle or semicircle curves, with cars parked on the side or another car farther ahead in the circle.
