Forward collision avoidance: “I was slowly pulling into parking place in front of school. Person in car next to space I was pulling into confirmed this). The car seemed to accurate on it’s own. (Person in car confirmed). Absolutely no warning lights or beeps went off. It did not brake. It jumped the curb and hit stump that must have made it veer left into light pole. Collision place towed and inspected. State Farm adjuster also. Insurance totaled it. I tried to get so called black box out but collision repair didn’t have ability.”
