The vehicle was in fsd beta mode and while taking a left turn the car went into the wrong lane and I was hit by another driver in the lane next to my lane. The car gave an alert 1/2 way through the turn so I tried to turn the wheel to avoid it from going into the wrong lane but the car by itself took control and forced itself into the incorrect lane creating an unsafe maneuver putting everyone involved at risk. Car is severely damaged on the driver side.
Using autopilot on 405 freeway at approximately 60mph. When approaching stopped traffic, I initiated a lane change using the turn signal. Halfway through the lane change the car swerved back into the original lane and slammed on the brakes causing the car behind me to rear end the vehicle. Damage was minor. I reported the incident to Tesla on October 17. The original response was to schedule a service appointment. The appointment was later cancelled after I received a message from Tesla legal regarding autopilot. My message to Tesla was deleted from my service history. Tesla autopilot, tacc and fsd are not safe to use on any roads. I have experienced dozens of phantom braking episodes in this car on all types of roads in clear conditions.
The vehicle sometimes brakes dangerously hard at highway speeds, nearly causing the vehicle behind me to nearly rear-end me.
My car brakes for no apparent reason when cruis control is active of autopilot. Sometime it is about sometimes it is gradual. In one instance on the interstate at 75mph it took me down to 50 befor I could hit the accelerator petal to make it continue. This is a hazard for drivers around me. I have been in contact with Tesla multiple time but they have done nothing to fix it. Lane keep assist is also an issue. When the lane keep assist is turned off in the settings it will still preform the lane keeping. This caught me off guard and caused damage to the vehicle.
I purchased the Tesla full self-driving capability via subscription for my 2021 Tesla Model Y on Saturday, July 17, 2021. On Sunday, July 18, 2021 at approximately 12:40pm CT. While activating the Smart summon feature in a private residential parking lot, the car drove itself into a tree damaging the front of the car resulting in a total cost of $1,799. 32. Tesla is refusing to refund me the $200. 00 for the self-driving subscription after their software malfunctioned. This is a dangerous feature that is available to millions of drivers.

I would like NHTSA to force automakers to stop using names for their driver assistance features that overstate the capabilities of those features. A driver assistance feature should be allowed to be sold as autopilot if it cannot pilot the vehicle automatically. A driver assistance feature should not be allowed to be sold as "full self-driving" if it cannot drive itself fully. It is deceptive, dangerous, and wrong. "driver assistance standard" and "driver assistance plus" are fair, safe, and appropriate terms that do not immediately tempt abuse. Please immediately act in the interest of consumer and public safety to stop these misleading and unsafe practice by automakers. I submit this on behalf of the 4/16/2021 harris county, TX crash victims, those who have come before, and those who will continue to die believing they are in a self-driving car.
