“While in Full Self Driving mode in my Tesla, it was making a right turn into a parking lot when it suddenly violently accelerated. Before I could gain control it crossed the parking lot entrance, climbed the curb, and came to rest on a lawn in front of a business. Luckily no one was hurt. It appears the car will be totaled by the insurance company at the completion of their investigation.”

“1. Personally, I believe ALL NEW CARS should be required to put BLIND SPOT MONITORING NOTIFICATION LIGHTS in the side mirrors ! It is such a GREAT SAFETY ADDITION. Tesla does not have it. 2. I have had the car since 4/16/22. I have replaced the windshield x 2 already and this weekend a rock hit the windshield which now needs to be replaced again. 4 windshields in 13 months? Is there a proble m with the windshields?”
