Consumer Description
The adaptive cruise control of the Tesla Model 3, like other Tesla models, rely on the cameras for determining speed. While driving on the freeway the Tesla Model 3 began to abruptly break almost causing a car to rear-end me. This has occurred multiple times since the full self driving was released to everyone. I discovered that the software reads the freeway's "Minimum Speed Limit" signs as the maximum speed limit. I reached out to Tesla and was told that there would be a firmware up-date but one has not come out since.
