Narrative

I am writing to report an incident that occurred on [XXX] [XXX] while my Cybertruck was operating in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode. While driving on [XXX] Brooklyn NY with no other moving traffic present, my Cybertruck did not detect a vehicle that was parked improperly—sticking out too far into the lane. The FSD system failed to adjust its path accordingly and struck the side view mirror of my vehicle, causing significant damage to the mirror glass and housing. I understand that FSD is a driver-assist feature that requires supervision, and I was attentive during the drive. However, the clearance of side view mirrors from the driver’s perspective is extremely difficult to judge at street level, and I believe stationary obstacles of this nature should be reliably detected and avoided by the FSD system. This type of incident raises concerns about the performance of FSD in handling stationary objects, especially when the vehicle was otherwise properly supervised and operating in a straightforward environment. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
