Eh, phantom braking is definitely a problem. It's gotten better, for sure, but I've definitely had times where there was nothing within 1/4 mile in front of me on the highway and suddenly it slammed the brakes.
When I first got my Tesla in 2019, there was one specific overpass that I would go under during my commute that seemed to have a ~20% chance of triggering automatic emergency braking. I got into the habit of preparing to stomp the throttle which would override AEB.
Luckily, a software update came out a few months in that seemed to fix that specific case. Now, I've done 1,300 mile road trips that didn't have a single phantom braking incident.
