“I started to reverse and as always the backup camera view came on the dashboard. I was watching as I backed out of my parking space. My wife felt it was very hot in the car and she turned on the AC. That switched my backup camera view on the dashboard while I had pulled my car half way. I was then driving blind as I pulled out without the camera view on the dashboard. I didn't hear any stop sign or any audible sound to stop before I hit the bus behind.”
NHTSA complaint #11383567, filed 2020-12, 21,000 miles“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.

This “jumping curbs” behavior and collision with fixed objects represents a serious safety hazard. I am extremely grateful that no person was nearby or inside the vehicle at the time, as this failure could have resulted in injury or death. …”
