    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    Just cause I'm really tired of some of the nonsense certain people are posting. Do you work for Tesla? Seriously - "Audi, Toyota and many others have had this claim made against them. After extensive investigation, all of these claims have been found to be false." I guess you forgot about that...

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    In February - I have asked repeatedly for log data, and Tesla refuses to give it to me.

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    Yes, but it didn't matter. The acceleration was intense, so even my immediate control (give or take about 1 seconds for normal alert response time) was not sufficient to prevent the rear-end accident.

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    Some people have requested additional evidence. My only intention here is to find others with similar experiences of auto-pilot aggressively accelerating - especially in the context of another car cutting over / some other obstacle appearing in front of the vehicle. If you've ever gotten a...

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    I don't own any Tesla stock. I had no reason to come check out this forum until this happened to me and decided to see if it happened to anyone else. I don't want to give away my actual id on the internet, for what I hope are obvious reasons, but I'll look to see if there's any documentation I...

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    Yes - but due to the rate of acceleration, my very sufficient alertness was insufficient to overcome the malfunction and the resulting accident. I'm really looking to see if anyone else has had similar experiences.

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    This isn't a "troll." I have a letter from Tesla - of course it says it's my fault, but Tesla is not going to write a letter saying it's their fault. The letter I have mentions data, but they did not give me actual data. The acceleration of the Tesla was extreme. The car in front of me did...

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    I like how you ask for more details but then reach a conclusion regardless of the details. Anyway - yes I rear-ended that car. I had my hands hovering above the steering wheel and was very alert. I've never previously had an accident. I was going under the speed limit - 60 mph on the hwy. The...

    auto-pilot malfunction (accelerated behind another car causing crash)

    I know there has been recent news this week about apparent malfunctions in auto-pilot mode. I know it's not super clear cut, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. My model S in auto-pilot mode actually accelerated while driving behind another car, causing a collision...
