Narrative

On [XXX], at approximately [XXX], my 2026 Tesla Model Y (VIN: [XXX], delivered [XXX]) was involved in a rear-end collision while the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system was actively engaged. The dashcam footage clearly shows "Self Driving" displayed in blue on the instrument panel at the time of the incident, with the vehicle traveling at 3 KM/H in Drive (D) mode. What failed: The FSD/ADAS system failed to detect the stopped vehicle ahead and did not apply braking or issue any collision warning prior to impact. Safety risk: The system had full control of the vehicle at the time of the collision. I was not manually operating the vehicle. The failure of the FSD system to respond appropriately caused a rear-end collision. Dealer/service confirmation: Not yet confirmed by dealer. Incident occurred 2 days after vehicle delivery. Inspections: Under review by insurance. Police report pending. Dashcam video evidence preserved. Prior warnings: No warning lamps or alerts were displayed prior to the collision. The FSD system gave no indication of the impending failure. Dashcam footage showing active "Self Driving" status at time of crash is available upon request. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
