I know what it was, but I won’t participate in naming and shaming.
The dealership tried to fix it several times, and I don’t know if this is a systemic problem, or a single vehicle issue.
Either way, I don’t trust the tech. It can be developed and tested against plenty of different scenarios, but we live in a very uncontrolled and fluctuating environment.
After that experience, I don't want a vehicle with that functionality in it, and don't want other cars on the road having it. It's half-baked at best.
It had happened enough times to him, and he complained to the dealership enough, that they bought the vehicle back from him. Who knows if these incidents were ever reported to the NHTSA since no physical collisions with other cars occurred.
