My car doesn't randomly apply the brakes for no reason.

Mine - a UK Prius plug-in 2013 - still, after all the recalls and software updates, skids forward uncontrollably if you’re braking and hit a drain lid, because the traction control goes loopy somehow.

I’m not defending Tesla here, but let’s not pretend the established manufacturers don’t run into safety issues when it comes to the clever software under the hood.

These kind of ABS issues (braking over a big bump, normal braking to an extremely slippery surface with just one wheel, etc) are pretty common among many cars. They basically all use one of a few ABS systems from Bosch or Continental with the parameters set to match the chassis / tire / etc setup.

Keep in mind that the ones with radar don't really have that problem. This seems like it was a large performance regression.

Neither does mine.
