It’s a bigger problem than just with “self driving” mode. Driving my wife’s Model Y on rural interstate roads, I had a couple incidents of phantom braking. Every time it happened there was something on the side of the road, like the guard rails of a bridge, from an otherwise empty shoulder. This was just using cruise control, which is call “traffic aware cruise control” (a/k/a SQUIRREL!).
I reported it to the NHTSA. Until there is a fix, we won’t use cruise control.
