Random auto braking in the Lotus Eletre

Hey everyone,
Has anyone else experienced the auto braking kicking in unexpectedly? I was driving through a residential area at about 15 MPH. There was a Tesla coming towards me about 50 meters away and two pedestrians walking along the path around 20 meters ahead. Suddenly, the car slammed on the brakes hard, sending my two Labradors flying from the back seat (they’re fine but definitely startled).

I was wearing sunglasses at the time, so I’m wondering if the eye sensors near the steering wheel might have played a part. Could they be affected if they can’t detect your eyes clearly?

I get this pretty often when I want to turn left on a road, and if a car is coming from the opposite direction. I think it is because the car thinks I will continue to drive into the lane on the other side of the road.

What really bugs me is when you gotta swerve to avoid parked cars, and then the lane keep assist tries to yank you back into the lane, like it's gonna crash you into those parked cars! It sees the cars on the screen, right? It should know better!
