Upwards of a dozen times my Honda Accord will suddenly brake as it believes I am about to have a collision whereas it is typically a shadow. This happens when going under bridges or overpasses, or depending on the glare from the sun. This has happened several times on the highway causing multiple near collisions at high speeds.

I was driving on a four-lane highway using adaptive cruise control, gaining on a vehicle ahead. When the cruise control picked up the vehicle, I accelerated slightly, used left turn signal and began changing lanes, the warning for collision mitigation came on and the cruise control disengaged. Continued driving home and the warning continued, and cruise control would not function.

While traveling at approximately 30-35 MPH, my vehicle suddenly and abruptly stopped, flashing the word "brake" on my dashboard. I was traveling in the right lane on a four lane road, with no vehicles in front of me or to the left of me.

I was driving home in the rain on the interstate when my car suddenly braked on its own. Luckily, no one was immediately around me at the time because the sudden braking resulted in my car sliding into the lane to the right of me, towards the cars in the next lane over. It spun to where I was facing the oncoming traffic and sliding toward the dividing wall with the passenger side to the wall.

I was driving my car and was at the time passing through an intersection and I had no car in front or back of me and out of nowhere my car showed an alert to "BRAKE" and the car slammed on the brakes for me and brought the car to an almost complete stop. This appears to be the phenomenon called Phantom braking and it was terrifying if someone had been behind me.
