Now normally I just drive slowly through it and it's ok.
I must of driven through this pool of water every day for about 3 weeks.
Now today I stopped just before the pool of water and then accelerated, suddenly the car red warning symbol came up and the car violently braked..aaargh, got quite a shock.

So what I think may have happened is the front camera possibly thought that the reflection of my car in the pool of water was another car and then braked the car automatically.

Has anybody experienced this ?
My car has never braked automatically before so this is a first and there was no other car or obstacle in front of me.

Maybe a possible technology glitch, quite possible.
Also, had a warning beep and red dashboard light (but fortunately no violent braking) when I was coming up to a jogger on the footpath adjacent to the road.

Sensors must have thought there was some danger of collision and was sending out a warning.😬😬😬
