1. Autosteer/Lane assist failure, yes its available for inspection upon request with Tesla 2. Due to above failure met with a crash which led to severe medical issues 3.

Police has filed a crash report but manufacturer, insurance yet to inspect the vehicle or component 5. Absolutely NO WARNING lamps/messages prior to the failure.
Tesla model 3, while driving will report a left/right column camera, is obstructed do to condensation on the inside of the camera cover. While driving on this interrupts advanced driver assistance systems such as auto lane change, blind-spot detection, and lane departure warning. This has me concerned about the safety of the adas features as condensation has impeded functionality multiple times while using the feature driving at highway speeds.
