That's not something that should have a normalizing term, FFS. 🤢🤦🏽♂️
It's bad to have names for frequently observed issues in new software? It would seem weirder not to talk about it.
It's the fact it's so common that it has a name. And then there's the fact it's a name that doesn't really convey the seriousness. "Phantom Braking" is so dry and unemotive. It's sounds as if it's etherial and you're unsure if it's happening.
"No-cause emergency braking" is accurate and doesn't soften the impact of the issue. As consumers we should label safety issues with terms that no company would ever want associated with their product.
Jargon is the term for articulate, specialized language. Normalizing the consumer experience of "phantom braking*" is fucking irresponsible of us as a global culture.
