Autopilot braking unnecessarily

[tthrower]

I was using Autopilot on my CT doing and going into a curve, the AP was applying the brakes even though the large truck coming toward me was in their respective lane. It happened several different times. Anyone experienced this and is there a Tesla adjustment that can be done.

Auto Pilot is not currently enabled for the CT... The only thing you could have been using was adaptive cruise control. Which will break on a downhill to maintain your set speed and also has no lane assist so if the was any slight curve and an oncoming truck, it might engage because it thinks you're about to drive right into oncoming traffic. Something you might easily have done if you thought you were using any kind of auto pilot. This was all explained in a specific document.You had to sign when you picked up the truck.

Thanks for the information! I was using the wrong nomenclature, but your explanation makes perfect sense.

This has been happening on mine ever since i got it 3 months ago. Sometimes there's not even a vehicle in the other lane and it will briefly slow down. Service center was unable to do any correction and told me maybe a future software update will help with this. 4 lane is not too bad but 2 lane highways are terrible.

Good info! This was 2 lane and in a curve.
