Phantom braking is a normal part of using a self-driving vehicle. At least, that\u2019s the excuse Tesla owners make when their car randomly brakes in Autopilot mode. But over the last few weeks, Tesla owners have experienced a dramatic increase in phantom braking events, leading to tons of new complaints on social media<\/a>, forums, and the NHTSA<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

When self-driving cars experience phantom braking, it\u2019s usually because their computers aren\u2019t smart enough to differentiate safe objects from hazards. The car thinks it\u2019s about to hit something, so it triggers the brakes. Some instances of phantom braking are sudden and aggressive, leaving drivers to quickly react if they want to avoid an accident.<\/p>\n

It seems that Tesla\u2019s Autopilot feature has gotten worse at identifying road hazards, which would explain the increase in phantom braking. Many Tesla owners blame the uptick in phantom braking on recent software updates, which disable the radar component of Tesla\u2019s Autopilot system for a fully vision-based Autopilot.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a complaint from the NHTSA website:<\/p>\n

While driving using cruise control the vehicle will occasionally brake suddenly for unknown reasons. In one instance I was worried that the car following me would either hit my car or be forced to take other action possibly causing an accident. When I contacted Tesla regarding my concern they said something about the software program evolving\u2026no fix available. The cruise control system is Dangerous.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, this news<\/a> comes just one week after Tesla was forced to recall<\/a> its \u201cfull self-driving\u201d beta program. The self-driving beta software reportedly made cars act erratically, and phantom braking was a common complaint.<\/p>\n

Tesla has not commented on its Autopilot problem, but Elon Musk described the recent self-driving beta fiasco as a \u201csoftware\u201d problem. It\u2019s possible that both of these problems are linked to Tesla\u2019s new vision-based Autopilot system.<\/p>\n
