Prius Prime

  • miles
I was driving in behind several cars on a city street about 30 mph. The cars ahead slowed quickly. The automatic braking system came on suddenly and completely and applied the brakes on its own with no warning red flash. It locked the brakes and the wheels skidded on the pavement I had no control over this at all I tried tapping lightly to stop the skid. I was about 10-12 feet away from the vehicle ahead of me when the car stopped. I did have some additional stopping room but had no control over the braking system at all if I had been on wet pavement the skidding and -€œhopping-€ would have been worse.
