My Tesla Model X was in autopilot mode (v13. 2. 9) at the time of the incident. The vehicle’s advanced driver-assistance system was actively controlling steering and speed, while I remained attentive with my hands on the wheel I was closely monitoring the car’s operation but was not manually steering, braking, or accelerating during autopilot engagement the vehicle collided with stationary flexible delineator posts. The impact occurred at 55mph. The flexible delineator posts were the only object struck. No other vehicles were involved in the accident, and no persons were injured. No passengers or bystanders affected. The collision with the flexible delineator posts caused damage to my vehicle’s front bumper area and cracked right headlight. There was no damage to any property besides my own vehicle. The incident was captured on the Tesla’s built-in camera system (dashcam). I have saved the video footage, which clearly shows the car’s approach and the impact with the flexible delineator posts. This video is available and can be provided for review.
I am writing to report and formally document a very serious and distressing safety incident involving my Tesla Model X that occurred for a second time, on [xxx]. While driving routinely into the parking garage at my workplace, my vehicle suddenly and violently stopped without warning. There were no obstacles, vehicles, or pedestrians in front of me. The abrupt stop caused my body and head to jolt forward with force, resulting in whiplash. I am still feeling dizzy, dazed, and disoriented, and I believe I may need to consult a neurologist as I have a headache from the whiplash. This is not the first time this has occurred. A similar but less severe incident happened previously while I was driving on [xxx] . At that time, I dismissed it as a possible glitch, but after this most recent and violent episode, I am deeply alarmed. I am extremely concerned about the safety of this vehicle. What if this sudden stop had occurred on the freeway, or while my two children were in the car? the potential consequences could have been catastrophic.
