I mean, "phantom braking" seems like a pretty obvious term for such behavior. Never had it on my laser cruise-equipped Golf R, nor on our radar-equipped Tesla, but it's immediately intuitive what they mean by it. I will say, the Tesla needed to have the "brake warning" moved to 'late' from 'medium' to not making annoying alerts from time to time, which is something my Golf did also, but even more rarely. I only had the Golf for about 30k miles because I somewhat-unexpectedly bought the Telsa 3, which is now up over 53k miles.
