I have a Tesla, when using just cruise control it has slammed the brakes:

because of shadows that confused it

because of concern about cars crossing the intersection ahead where there is only the need to gently slow

because of a car crossing an intersection ahead that has already crossed!

because of a steep bridge that confused it

we can’t use cruise control in the car basically, we decided it is too dangerous at worst and jarring at least

because there is so much hype around Tesla people get the impression their software is “hardcore” but a lot of it is absolute garbage.
