    The road veered left and the truck did as well, keeping in its lane the entire time. The car interpreted this as the truck merging over into my lane and slammed the brakes.

    Even dynamic cruise control must never do such dangerous mistakes!

    You should claim that they fix this on warranty, and they should prove that this is never going to happen again.

      Almost all of them do it, the one most fresh in my mind is the Prius because my work uses them as base cards so I drive them a lot. If the highway curves kind of hard to either the left or the right sometimes it will panic and think you’re about to hit the car in the lane next to you because they’re technically in front of you and so it will try to brake.

      Thankfully there is an option to turn off the automatic braking it will just start screaming instead
