Sleepy drivers being a problem is not exclusive to Tesla's. Phantom breaking is really only an issue for a driver who is abusing the autopilot system. The driver is supposed to be ready to take control of the vehicle in a moments notice. Self driving does have it's issues, but in California self driving Tesla's on average are having less incidents than REAL drivers.
I experience phantom breaking nearly every time I go out in the Tesla; only at certain turns in the road. It is truly a problem. If you have some asshole tail gating and the Tesla decides to look at a squirrel then you could be in a wreck from it.
It truly is not a fun thing to anticipate. I tend to disengage in any spot I think this will happen.
When I was learning about the autopilot, and enabled it for the first it said for clearly It's really only intended to be used on highways with clearly defined dividers. I don't know what kind of roads you're using it on, but the only time I experienced hard braking on the highway was when some douchebag with a trailer let his trailer drift into my lane right in front of me, and the Tesla came to a halt even tho the trailer was only about 12 inches into my lane.

Far right hand land going under and overpass with a wall.
Upward slope on curve to right will phantom break.
Right hand lane with slow left lanes will phantom break.
All highway encounters.
