In short:
Tesla drivers have reported phantom braking while driving in autopilot mode, with cars rapidly decelerating for no reason. Allegations of phantom braking have led to legal action overseas.
What's next:
An Australian class action against Tesla over phantom braking and other issues will return to the Federal Court later this year.Thousands join Australian class action
Following a US consumer lawsuit over phantom braking, about 10,000 Tesla drivers in Australia have registered their interest in a class action against the company.
The case began in the Federal Court last month, claiming that Australian consumers were misled over phantom braking, battery range and self-driving capability.
"The issues that have been reported to us are that vehicles can be driving along on the highway at 100 or 110kph and all of a sudden the brakes are applied suddenly and without reason," class action lawyer, Rebecca Jancauskas told 7.30.
"Drivers have reported feeling completely terrified when their vehicles have braked suddenly and it has led in some cases to collisions.
7.30 invited Tesla Australia to respond to the claims but it did not reply.
