VEHICLE INFORMATION   Year: 2024   Make: Tesla   Model: Model Y   Mileage at time of incident:1,288   Date of incident: XXX   Location of incident: [XXX]       On XXX, I was operating my 2024 Tesla Model Y in [XXX] when the vehicle experienced a sudden and unexpected malfunction of its Autopilot/autonomous driving system. The vehicle activated in Autopilot mode without my intentional input, causing me to lose control and resulting in a serious crash.   Prior to the collision, the vehicle's Autopilot system, engaged without my input and abruptly accelerated.   I was seriously injured as a result. The vehicle, a brand-new 2024 Tesla Model Y, was in normal operating condition with no prior mechanical issues. I had not modified the vehicle in any way.   Following the crash, Tesla provided data to attorneys regarding the incident which I believe to be inaccurate and inconsistent with my experience. I am requesting that NHTSA:   1. Open a formal investigation into this incident   2. Investigate the accuracy and completeness of data Tesla provides following Autopilot-related crashes   3. Preserve my complaint as part of any ongoing investigation into Tesla Autopilot/FSD systems   Was I injured? YES   Number of injuries: 2   Were there fatalities: NO   Was there a police report?
