She was fine, and the front passenge was fine too because of the seat belt.Was she injured?
Teslas are very safe in protecting passengers. The best way to protect the passenger is for the car to absorb the impact, like shown in your pictures. That's why they are lauded in crash test, not because the car is fine, but the occupants are.
They said they are new to this country.When did FSD become available in Cypress?
If the car didn't crumple, they would all be injured, even with seatbelts.She was fine, and the front passenge was fine too because of the seat belt.
The mom in-law in the rear back was badly injured because she was not buckled up. I think she learned it in a very hard way.
Sorry to hear about your accident. I have pretty good experience with Tesla insurance, just file the claim through the app, it will guide you to take all the pictures. Once the adjuster responded, then he or she will guide you the method of communications and the next step, don't waste time calling the numbers, wait for the adjuster. In my case, I got a response within couple of days and then all communications mostly through text/email, all responded within 24 hours and everything works great with collision center. In your case, it is likely totaled.All,
This is my first time to leave a post in this website and I just want to share some experience with you all. My wife was driving the Model Y with FSD driving in the local.
Bug of the FSD: the computer is supposed to think ahead by changing the lane from the left to the right much earlier before it is supposed to make the right turn. It cannot change the lane at the last minute before its turn. Beyond that, the vehicle failed to see road edge and a big community sign in front of it.
- The vehicle was driving in location A of figure below (left lane of two lanes on Spring Cypress Rd).
- The vehicle was supposed to make a right turn to Louetta Rd position C.
- Because there is another vehicle on its right, my Model Y could not change the lane from left to the right before its turn.
- However, per the map, my Model Y needs to make its right turn at the corner; it is not supposed to do so, because only the right lane can make the right turn.
- At the corner, FSD was thinking hard about what to do before its turn. After the other vehicle passed, it decided to make the right turn.
- After the right turn at a very low speed, it speeds up hitting into a community sign (position B in the Figure) causing the collision. The computer thought that was a lane to drive, but it is not.
Question: the vehicle was smoking at the first few seconds, but stopped after that. Both two front air bags are deployed. As you can see from pictures below, do you know how Tesla insurance will handle case like this? We are in communicating with the insurance and estimate center, but it just takes time, especially in Holiday season to come.

From my experience, FSDb does not accelerate that fast...the vehicle was turning at a very low speed around 4-5 miles/hour; once the turn is completed, it speeds up right away to 40miles/hour within a few seconds.
From just what you have said, I would guess that your wife realized it wasn't going well and decided to press the brakes to stop it, but got the pedals messed up and pressed the accelerator instead.I think my wife missed that critical moment to disengage it, because the machine was confused.
That's not true.From my experience, FSDb does not accelerate that fast...

Per my wife's confirmation,
I will have to wait until I can pull out footage video clips from the USB. Once they are available, I will share with you all here later.
If you're going to be in court for this ticket, I recommend you find and hire an attorney with expertise in traffic tickets to advise and assist you - especially since you're new to this country. Your ticket, your money, your call, but it might be helpful to do so.I believe our Tesla insurance will pay for all the loss after our deductbile, we are not much concerned about it.
The only concern is how Tesla will handle the case, will it be repaired, or totalled? And will the accident damage our insurance record? I guess it does. Just don't know how much the insurance will increase because of the collision.
By the way, the police also give my wife a ticket to show up in a court, I guess she has to admit all fault in the accident, not controling the speed in the collision, am I correct? It is our first time experience living in this country, no clue at what to do...
LOL. Cypress is an unincorporated community in Harris County, Texas, United States, located completely inside the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Houston. Paris, Florence, Liverpool, Warsaw ... are also in Texas.When did FSD become available in Cypress?
Many consumers are not trained Test Pilots. Test Pilots are already trained that their airplanes are unsafe for public use.
Consumers even heard that FSD is achieving level 4 or 5 this year, 2023, which is only 23 more days, so what could go wrong?
Elon Musk Boldly Predicts FSD Will Offer Level 4 Or 5 Autonomous Driving This Year | Carscoops
The opinion-splitting CEO is once again speculating that his company will offer true autonomous driving before 2024www.carscoops.com
Disinformation trains consumers to even rely more on FSD technology to save them in accident scenarios like in this thread.

Also, very sorry to hear your MIL was injured, and hope she recovers quickly.
Generally, FSD doesn’t accelerate quickly but on occasion it does. Either way I would question why your wife didn’t take over when it started stuttering at the turn, or at least have her foot on the brake and hands on the wheel. Clearly it was having difficulty and there was a high likelihood that it would fail in a critical situation where immediate takeover would be necessary.From my experience, FSDb does not accelerate that fast...

Yes - FSD is still considered ‘level 2’ automation meaning it‘s in the same category as cruise control and the driver is technically in charge even if the car is turning the wheel. They also have several disclaimers when enabling it advising drivers to keep their hands on the wheel because it can behave unexpectedly. Any lawsuit would be difficult at best.To sue Tesla for the accident won't be practical. #1, my wife was at fault; #2, Tesla claimed it will be driver's responsibility for all accidents using FSD, it was clear to everyone. #3, Tesla is huge, we won't have enough time and money and other resources to fight such a huge company with their legal team.
Trained pilot, this is a very good point.
When I purchased this vehicle with FSD, it took me quite a few months to get trained before FSD was released. I spent $12000 waiting for about 3-4 months to get trained for that FSD. I believe I was granted the FSD because of high safety score (>95).
My wife took it over without proper train as the way I went through. She was driving the vehicle with FSD for about 7 months. I warned her some driving habbit even the day before the accident. I am thinking if the cause of this accident is because she was not trained well or not. From all I can recall, she might not be well trained.
The questions are:
1. How Tesla is able to tell if the driver went through proper training before he/she can use the FSD? As you know, everyone can use FSD once it is there. Tesla will only warn you it is driver's responsiblity to cautiously drive well with FSD.
2. Should the driver be trained well he/she is allowed to use the FSD?
3. I am not trying to make any problems with Tesla, but am just thinking about how FSD can be improved or learn from the accident.
ts always the drivers fault, regardless of what happened / happens.
