What owners report

Vehicle Speed Control,Forward Collision Avoidance,Lane Departure

Supervised fsd does not have a remedy if it assigns an incorrect speed limit to the current roadway. the only action available is to disengage fsd. this incorrect speed limit happens quite often, especially in construction zones with temporary speed limit changes. tesla used to have a ‘max speed’ setting that the driver could use to override an incorrect speed limit, but they removed that capability.

Service Brakes,Forward Collision Avoidance

Car will just brake on the highway with out warning. cruise control will just randomly change speeds. i was traveling on an overpass and speed dropped to 35 then jumped to 60mph.

Unknown Or Other

I was using full self-driving (fsd) supervised capability. we were turning left and the car took us into an oncoming turn lane. i had to take over to get us out of the lane.
