Description of the problem	Hi my wife drives a 2018 atlas as our family car. We have had several incidents where the automatic braking has suddenly engaged when there were no cars near the vehicle. This has happened while parking on flat surfaces in an empty lot, parking in empty lot on a very slightly incline, and while cruising within a highway lane without a car immediately in front or behind us. Unpredictable uncontrolled sudden braking is dangerous and can actually cause collisions. The atlas is a vehicle which is commonly used to transport families and their children. I hope a nhtsa recall can be issued to address this problem.
