Yes it shuts off with a beep if it can’t handle current conditions. In case you think this kind of abrupt shutoff sounds dangerous, keep in mind this is in the current generation of the system which relies on a human driver being attentive and ready to take over at all times.

What is a driver to do when the system randomly decides to brake? [1] Phantom braking has been an issue for awhile, and has yet to be acknowledged by Tesla.

  They do acknowledge it. You asked what to do. Apply gentle force to the accelerator pedal. And that video is from a super old software version.

    > they do acknowledge it. Where has Tesla acknowledged phantom braking as a persistent issue? It has been around since 2016. > that video is from a super old software version. Looks like the video was taken a month ago. The driver had the version of software that Tesla gave him. Drivers can't choose which software version they get, so if it was old, that's on Tesla, not the driver.

      You can choose not to update.

        The above example is about a case where a driver did not receive an update. He can't choose to download it.
