Narrative

I was slowly backing out of my garage. The car braked harshly and automatically. It was so hard, despite my slow speed, that I got whiplash in my neck. The automatic system probably falsely determined that I was about to hit something. The review view camera was clear. There were no obstacles. This is the fourth such incident, although I have never been injured until now. -Yes, the car is available for inspection. -I was injured: whiplash in my neck. -I have not yet reported the problem to anyone but NHTSA. -No, it hasn't been inspected. I haven't reported it to anyone else yet. -Before the event, the car was beeping warning me that I was close to hitting something. This is always the case as I back out of the garage.
