Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 15N FREEWAY ABOUT 1 MILE SOUTH OF THE HW 78 ON FEB 10 2020 AT APROX 07:30AM. I HAD AUTOPILOT ENGAGED AND I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE (NOT CHANGING LANES) AT NORMAL FREEWAY SPEEDS, SUDDENLY I WAS SPINNING OUT AND HIT THE RIGHT SIDE WALL OF THE FREEWAY TOTALING MY CAR. UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T HAVE A CLEAR MEMORY OF HOW THE EVENT STARTED, I JUST REMEMBER RUNNING IN AUTOPILOT ON MY WAY TO WORK THEN SPINNING OUT AND HITTING THE WALL. ONCE THE EVENT STARTED IT WAS UNRECOVERABLE, AND WAS OVER IN A FEW SECONDS.
