A few days ago, according to overseas media reports, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is ready to start an investigation into Tesla's "phantom brake" problem. On the NHTSA website, there have been 107 complaints about Tesla's "phantom brakes" in the past three months, compared to just 34 in the previous 22 months. The timing coincided with Tesla's decision to stop using radar sensors and instead use cameras entirely to monitor its surroundings.
"Phantom brake" refers to the fact that after Tesla starts the advanced driver assistance system, there will be a vehicle's misjudgment of the surrounding environment, and the emergency brake is prohibited, which will interfere with the personnel in the car, and will also affect the rear car, causing accidents such as rear car rear-end collisions.
Tesla has decided to stop using radar sensors in its vehicles and switch to using cameras entirely to monitor its surroundings, but this decision has been criticized by experts, who believe that using multiple different sensors and having them cross-check between them can more effectively avoid the emergence of "phantom brakes". At present, NHTSA has opened an investigation into these complaints.
