WTF moment -- my Cybertruck made a sudden hard brake stop for vehicle on other side of 2-lane highway

[CyberTruckeeTheOne]

I encountered a truck on the other side of a two-lane highway.

My Cybertruck suddenly made a hard brake stop when we both have a clear wide enough space between us.

Luckily there is no vehicle at the back as it would have been a definite collision.

Note: The auto-pilot is simply a glorified reactive cruise control.

The autopilot hasn't been enabled. So were you using cruise control?

Adaptive cruise control is based off of Autopilot (just without the auto steer). This behavior is either phantom braking or just being extra careful. I hate it. This is why I can't use FSD for more than a few seconds. It brakes too much for no real reason.

When I drive, I never use the brakes. When FSD drives, it's always braking in an uncomfortable manor.

Happens in my Model Y too. Seems like it's just a normal Tesla quirk unfortunately.

Old style adaptive cruise control comes with old style phantom braking.

Adaptive cruise control is based off of Autopilot ...

No, it's not. It has fewer sensory inputs.

Mine is enabled but the again, it is just adaptive cruise control, lane monitor (no auto steer to put truck in the middle), simply blue streak warning ehen going offline and the red blind-side warning.

Doesn't happen in my Toyotas.

I hope they'll correct this with FSD release in June.

That's too damn dangerous on freeways and high speed congested highways.

reason #123443 that i wish i wasnt forced to have FSD. I actually enjoy driving my cars.

So adaptive cruise control def isn't autopilot.

That being said. Even if you had autopilot or fsd you still get phantom braking. Because the truck is mega cautious.

This has trained seasoned Tesla owners to hover over the accelerator instead of the brake when on cruise, AP or fsd.

I'll typically be pressing my accelerator just a tiny bit unless I know the vehicle needs to actually slow down. This helps to prevent the sudden super slowdown.

It's not required but it'll make your life easier.

You're not forced to have fsd.

But I would rather have the FSD driving than my wife.

It is auto pilot in their manual and not even bothering with fine print that it's just cruise control.

I guess it's the same when we pick up our Cybertruck: •Just figure it out yoursel!" lol

I wonder if the FSD Trial will come to your CT this month as rumored on X…
