“Weather was dry. Time was 5:30 PM - still sunlit. Driving down the interstate, 70 MPH in the middle lane of a three lane highway. Super Cruise is active, no cars in front of me within 500+ feet. I MAY recall a partially blown tire in the lane to my left. All of a sudden, car brakes and slows abruptly to about to about 40MPH. I can not recall of brakes were active but my car was configured for one pedal driving so when the accelerator was disengaged, the brake is applied. Service Driver Assist warning comes on. The service driver assist icon on the dashboard remained yellow. …”
