If you travel over a rough surface, (badly deteriorated asphalt is where I experience this), at the right speed so the resulting vibration is at the right frequency, you confuse the sensors. On my Gen2, what it does in this case is to *drastically* cut speed, to almost a crawl. It recovers after proceeding at a snail's pace for a while. This happens to me regularly on a particular street on my way to work. It's in a low-rent area, populated with a tow company and a redaimix concrete company.

Bob, I have had this same thing occur on cobbletone sidewalks before. If I went a little slower or a little faster it kept it from happening. I thought I had a machine issue while on vacation because of it. Thankfully it was just the sidewalks that caused it.
