phantom breaking isnt a thing in 2023. it used to be a problem, it's not anymore if you have HW3

  Spoken by someone who clearly doesn’t own or drive a Tesla. Phantom braking is very much STILL an unsolved problem.

    I own a tesla, im on fsd 14.2 though. maybe it's still an issue on auto-pilot. i have no had an issue with phantom breaking in over a year.

  This is not true, I purchased a Model 3 brand new in 2021; it has HW3 and it absolutely does phantom braking regularly on road trips. This is on US interstates.

    Why do you keep driving it? I had a car that did this to me twice and got rid of it, the first time could have been a glitch but twice is simply broken and dangerous. The dealer said the car was fine.

      All car brands ADAS are imperfect. If it phantom brakes you just push the accelerator, or simply don't use the ADAS. You can drive the car normally, you aren't forced to use ADAS if you don't like it.

        Yeah just gotta turn it off every single time you get in the car.
        • cypress66 3y ago
          No? What are you talking about. Just like basic cruise control, you don't have to "turn it off". It just doesn't work until you don't enable.

            Unfortunately on that particular car it was on by default and short of sabotaging the hardware it would stay on.

  Yeah, you're right. I haven't had a phantom brake in quite a while, and even the ones I used to have were not so aggressive as to be unsafe. Unfortunately, I suspect downvoters are conflating 'observing phantom braking has been fixed' with 'complete endorsement of everything Musk does'. Black and white thinking and whatnot.

  That's nice, but all of the older cars are still on the road.
