It’s not just autopilot of even FSD with issues like this, though. I have a 2021 Kia and Toyota that like to aggressively brake at odd times a few times a year. It just happened again in the past week in the Kia. Going 70+MPH and having the brakes suddenly and unexpectedly applied while going around a corner is jarring regardless of how fast you take back control.

My hypothesis for the Kia is that direct sun on corners at speed might affect the vision and/or collision system[0].

Is an infrequent jolt a reasonable trade off for the benefits? As an experienced driver o think so, but would my kids be able to handle it when the learn to drive?

I have similar issues occasionally with my older Honda. Usually the combo of incline, curve, sun and oncoming traffic trigger it.
