Narrative

While driving, the vehicle repeatedly triggered emergency braking without any obstacle present. The car continuously displayed warnings indicating pedestrians in front and behind the vehicle when no people were present. Due to these false detections, FSD became disabled during operation. The repeated sudden braking caused severe lower back pain, and I will be seeking medical treatment. This vehicle is unsafe to operate and presents a serious safety risk to myself and surrounding traffic. I have full video evidence of the incidents.
