## Narrative
Using autopilot on 405 freeway at approximately 60mph. When approaching stopped traffic, I initiated a lane change using the turn signal. Halfway through the lane change the car swerved back into the original lane and slammed on the brakes causing the car behind me to rear end the vehicle. Damage was minor.   I reported the incident to tesla on October 17. The original response was to schedule a service appointment. The appointment  was later cancelled after I received a message from Tesla legal regarding autopilot. My message to Tesla was deleted from my service history.  Tesla autopilot, TACC and FSD are not safe to use on any roads. I have experienced dozens of phantom braking episodes in this car on all types of roads in clear conditions.
