    Imagine how much worse the wreck would have been if the computer didn't slam on the brakes in a curve because of a shadow!

    I've had it happen because of a brake
    chamber failing. Locked it all right up. Had it happen many times with the avoidance system. Of the 2 the chamber caused the brakes to lock. The avoidance system was heavy brake and release. I'm betting on the chamber.
