## Narrative
While operating my Tesla using the Auto Park function (on 12/8/2025 between 8:45 am and 9:00 am) , which is part of the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, the vehicle initiated an automated parking maneuver. During the maneuver, the vehicle was reversing into a parking space when it failed to detect a stationary wall located behind the vehicle.  The vehicle continued reversing without issuing any visual or audible collision warnings and without performing automatic braking. The Auto Park system did not disengage or request driver intervention prior to impact. The vehicle subsequently collided with the wall, resulting in damage to the vehicle.  Based on the vehicle behavior, it appears that the object detection and/or obstacle avoidance functions—relying on onboard cameras and proximity sensing—did not properly recognize the stationary obstacle during the automated maneuver.  Following the incident, I contacted Tesla to request a review of vehicle telemetry and system logs to determine whether a fault existed within the Auto Park software, perception system, or associated sensors. Tesla advised that a service diagnostic fee would be required solely to access and review the logs, despite the incident occurring during use of an automated driving feature.
