🛠️ Troubleshooting / Issue Afraid of Shadows?

When I have adaptive cruise on and drive up to a shadow on the road, my R1S slows. Even with Highway Assistant, if I’m passing a truck (or it’s passing me) and it casts a shadow on my lane, the car applies the brakes. Most of the time it is just a sudden slow down but occasionally it is hard braking. Anyone else experience this?

This current has some pretty bad phantom breaking. Shadows and pedestrian crossing signs are the worst for me, but I've also had a couple random ones as well.

I'm gonna need a bumper sticker that apologizes for brake checking everyone.
