Description of the problem | On monday 6/10/2019 at 18:10, i was driving west on california highway 91 in riverside california. I was on the phone with my wife, the car was on cruise control, going 65 mph. There were no cars in front of me, i was driving in the second lane from the right. My car approached an 18 wheeler truck and it was passing the truck. The truck was on the right lane, my car approached on the next lane to the left. The car was still on cruise control and i was still on the phone with my wife. As the car was passing the truck, the vw atlas executes an emergency brake as if something was in my way. The car gave no warnings before applying the brakes hard. |
