I know which one I'd rather have and it's not the super computer.

I can attest the phantom braking is no joke.... however, I can count on one hand how many of those situations I've encountered on an A-road at speed (70-80mph). It usually involves an overpass or glare from the sun. I've experienced it several times on local roads, usually winding where there is a significant elevation change. It's not perfect by any stretch, but on A-roads, it's pretty stable.
