“Driving vehicle est 40mph, straight road city right lane. Car ahead of me (est 2 + car length) turned right,and was no longer on the road I was driving, my vehicle slowed down. I did not press brakes or change drive to neutral. There was no input from me to change vehicle speed. Space reserved bars use radar to keep designated space. There were no bars for a safety margin. No lights or indicators display on dashboard for reason of deceleration. Normally if I am close to a person who is turning off the road, sensors may detect than and flash brake on the dashboard. …”

“Lkas system is dangerous - will pull to the right then shift to left dramatically and then overshoot markers. Will take you off the road, car will not stay in the correct lane. Does not recognize double yellow lines and cuts right across them, sometimes unexpectedly. Pays no attention to them driving on a 8 lane highway, in the fast lane with cruise control on. I am passing a car/truck going slower in the next lane to my right. All of a sudden, the car just hits the brakes and sounds an alarm. Very dangerous, can be hit from behind due to sudden unexpected braking. …”
