Description of the problem	One of the safety features of the 2018 vw atlas is the automatic breaking system in the instance that a crash may occur. With this the front sensors of the vehicle warn prior to by either beeping or in some cases slamming on the automatic breaks. I have found that when i am on a hill of a certain grade, that the sensor system recognizes the bottom of the hill as an obstacle and many times when trying to accelerate off the hill turning onto the next road the automatic breaking system goes into effect stopping me dead into cross traffic and in some instances giving no warning to someone behind me that i may break urgently when i should be accelerating through an intersection/from a hill. I have almost been hit 3x with these issues and now find that i have a lot of stress when trying to drive off hills that this will continue to happen. I have tried turning off the front vehicle warning (which needs to be done every single time you restart the car) and this doesn't make any difference. To this same note, when i am in stop and go traffic, my front sensors continually go off which is a complete distraction when driving.
