Recently reported Forward Collision Avoidance problems of the 2017 Tesla Model S

The Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Critical safety failure: loss of driver override and extreme hmi/signaling latency. 1. Loss of override & unintended acceleration: while operating fsd (supervised), the vehicle ignored a 65 mph set-point and accelerated to 80 mph.   Read details...

The Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Full self driving did not show signs of slowing down at everett traffic slow down from about 60 miles to a standstill. I realized the speed not slowing down (about 5 car distance from stopped distance) I tried to apply the brakes that were completely nonresponsive, instead the car sped up.   Read details...

The Warnings problem

Using fsd. Stopped at a stop sign making a upl into a 4-lane 35 mph posted street. Twice now there was a small opening which would require an aggressive accelerator - it started the turn stopping a full car length into the first lane and decides it's going to wait for closing traffic from the right.   Read details...
