Tesla is quite far from full self driving. They have too much phantom breaking on the simple adaptive cruise control in good conditions.

- api 6y agoPhantom braking and similar issues are a full stop for me, no pun intended. That just seems fantastically dangerous given that so many drivers don’t pay much attention when they don’t expect you to brake. Seems like a recipe for full speed rear end collisions. Tesla may make this stuff work eventually but it doesn’t seem safe at the moment and you can count me out.
- saetaes 6y agoAs a Model X owner who rarely engages Autopilot for this exact reason, I concur. The number of times the car has suddenly started braking for no good reason (clear weather and good road conditions, few cars around) is way too high.

- burmanm 6y agoIt isn't, it still does it with all the other weird braking incidents also, like snowy road, truck comes from another direction in the corner - the car will alert and brake even when both are on their correct sides of the road. Not to mention any of those mid-road poles that are meant for the pedestrians. If they have snow then the car will again brake thinking I'm going to hit something. Impossible to use the cruise control on many roads.
- _ph_ 6y agoThat is true, but notice that the autopilot you use on the highway is an entirely different software than the FSD beta which recently has been released for off-highway use.
