## Narrative
Tesla Incident  9/8/2023 My Tesla Y started moving backwards suddenly while I was driving forward after I accidentally flicked the right drive lever, mistaking it rain wipers. I driving on Henry Hudson parkway in NYC. It was back to back traffic on HHP. The Tesla   started racing  backward despite my foot off the gas, and I barely had time to brake . Luckily, traffic was very slow due to rain and carbehind had stopped and it was not damaged at all. However, my Tesla trunk was damaged.  I am very worried that the car could go from moving forward to backward with accidental flick on the drive lever
