## Narrative
October 12, 2024.  I was using the Tesla on autopilot.  I was in the far right lane and the freeway was curving to the left.  The car was following in the lanes, but then all of a sudden it stopped following the freeway and drove into the right guardrail.  There were no alerts by the car.  It did not warn to take over the vehicle or attempt to avoid the collision.  The car drove directly into the guardrail without warning and was totalled.
