| Description of the problem | I was driving in a 4 lane (two on each direction) parkway toward a red stoplight with one car stopped at my lane at the light, i was coasting, slowing down toward the car. When i was about 30 ft away the light changed, the car in front started driving and i applied the accelerator. The distance to the car in front was definitely increasing however my car went into emergency braking mode, cancelling my acceleration pedal action and stopping the car. Luckily no one was behind me as it would have almost certainly ended in a rear-end collision. |
