Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – Safety Incident Report: While using the vehicle’s ‘Summon’ feature, the car failed to stop when I released the control button. It continued forward, drove up and over a large curb, struck a signpost, and came to rest with one tire elevated on the curb/grass and the other three tires on the pavement. This “jumping curbs” behavior and collision with fixed objects represents a serious safety hazard.

September 2025 Crash

While driving on the highway using the autopilot function the car would spontaneously swerve out of the lane when the lanes were merging. At other times it would slam on the breaks although there was no vehicle in front of me.
