Dateline, Düsseldorf! In a move that’s sure to ruffle some feathers at Tesla HQ, a German court has officially ruled that Tesla’s Autopilot system is “unsuitable for use” due to a long-standing issue: phantom braking. You know, that fun little quirk where your car slams the brakes for no reason.
an independent expert drove a Tesla Model 3 for 600 kilometers of Bavarian highways and experienced five separate phantom braking incidents.
I’ve said it before, those cars should not be street legal.
It’s not just the phantom breaking, it also 30% failure rate at 4 year safety checks in Denmark, and higher average accident rate than any other car.https://opentools.ai/news/tesla-model-3-inspection-failures-spark-concerns-in-denmark
These are not just anecdotal incidents, but a proven systemic problem throughout the design of Tesla cars.
Blinkers that are Inconvenient in maybe 10% the cases you use them, may be a minor thing, until you have an accident because of it!That’s more than 1 brake check per hour at the speed they were testing the system at.
