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.

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.
