10,000 miles of CT experience… good and bad.

True. If you disable AEB you’ll have to do it every time you drive. It does t stick.

congratulations on not experiencing this problem… Ive been driving Tesla vehicles for over 10 years and they all have done it. You can NOT override with accelerator. Guaranteed. Perhaps you’ve never had an actual AEB event… ??‍

No, I've had AEB events, but only in situations where I actually needed hard braking. It would have been suicide to over ride it.

Really? …I have not tried stepping on the brake during the AEB process. Will do this next time to see if it works.

Yeah. I've heard of a couple accidents which were worse because the driver hit the brake, stopping the car harder than the emergency braking, and then put another input or got hit - which then released the braking which would've saved them.

There's just no perfect response here.

Quick tip for AEB (from a ADAS/ self driving engineer)

When AEB is triggered there is a certain amount of deceleration requested to the powertrain, to over come this your need to input a greater amount of acceleration.

Example: The AEB system request -5 m/s^2 to avoid a collision. You will need to input (press on the throttle) more than 5 m/s^2 to over come the AEB braking request.

For cars with a “kick down” accelerator, pressing the accelerator for kick down will also over come the AEB request.

The good:

Did you know that the Cybertruck blind spot LED works unlike any other blind spot indicator? If a vehicle is approaching in an adjacent lane from behind at high speed the corresponding LED will illuminate much earlier. It actually takes velocity of traffic into account to warn you! Other cars simply have radar sensors that detect an object in close proximity. That doesn’t help if someone is speeding up to pass you… Tesla has the finest engineers in the world. Period.

Oh, also, the traffic aware cruise control actually does much more, too! It takes into account speed limits, road condition (such as curves and construction), and traffic signals. I think it may do everything that Autopilot does, except NO steering controls.

Now, something to fix ASAP: The Tesla AEB (automatic emergency braking) absolutely SUCKS!! Once it is activated, you can NOT override the system with throttle input until it comes to an abrupt and complete stop!

This caused my Model 3 to be rear-ended when I could have avoided the accident if the brakes weren’t stuck to the floor unnecessarily!! Same thing happened in Cybertruck yesterday… except I narrowly avoided being rear-ended bc the other driver veered off the road.

Nothing worse than HELPLESSLY sitting there unable to take control of your vehicle and just hoping that you don’t get smashed from behind. This needs to be fixed by Tesla.

WTF are they thinking by locking us out of control of our vehicle until it comes to a complete stop??!! This CAUSES accidents, not prevent them!!

Indeed, traffic aware even read construction cones. Too cautious though, it read as two the one and only cone as early warning signal on the road on the back of my RV.

This suck too. It run at full speed even if all the cars ahead have already stopped on the stop light. Then makes a very sudden hard braking when distance is 3 cars, my setting, ahead.

Don't use an emergency braking system for non-emergency needs?

Agreed. I think if they dialed-in the AEB trigger a little better I wouldn’t have had these issues. It activated when I had plenty of room to manage the stop myself.

My Porsche does this and it’s awesome!
