Narrative

While pulling into my driveway at 3–4 MPH and only a few feet away from the garage door, I suffered a sudden medical emergency and became unconscious. As my body froze, my right foot accidentally floored the accelerator pedal. The vehicle did not override my foot input despite the immediate obstacle ahead. It accelerated through the garage door and the dining room wall, coming to a stop in the kitchen. As a result of this crash, I requiring a three-day hospitalization. I am filing this report because vehicle safety systems should have a setting or protocol to prevent low-speed pedal misapplications from completely overriding automatic emergency obstacle braking. These settings save lives and there are no reasons that Tesla doesn't implement it. I had problems uploading photos. Please contact me at [XXX] to provide photos. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
