Since the 14 FSD update, I’ve noticed the CT is fighting to stay centered in the lane, which makes the ride feel a bit dizzying and the steering keeps shifting / pulsing. I’ve also seen it brake suddenly like it spotted something in the road, which is pretty unnerving.
Are you on 14.2?
Previous version was very twitchy and hit the brakes a LOT,.2 is better, not perfect but better

Yup. Definitely getting some phantom braking. We are seeing it in the same part of one road we drive.
Like you say, it is very strong braking, emergency level, not great.

I have this exact issue but only in low-light conditions. Is your truck also phantom braking only in low-light? In daylight my truck performs practically flawlessly.

I don't get it...I've read about this phantom breaking yet in 3 years it happened twice. We drive a 2023 MYLR 2024 FSCB - that covers 35k total miles and V11 - V14 .... I sure read about it all the time... IDK? - I drive 97% of the time FSD.

Maybe you guys really do have a phantom living in your car?

I haven't experienced that yet. But I did get a hard brake because of leaves blowing around on the street.

It was just looking out for you. Them leaves will fuck up your truck big time.
