Consumer Description

My friend was driving the vehicle (a 2019 Tesla Model 3) while it was engaged in Full Self-Driving Beta 10.12.2 mode. Whilst travelling at 24mph the FSD informs the driver to “avoid traffic cones” and brakes to 12mph for no apparent reason . The video of the incident clearly shows there were no traffic cones to avoid. The vehicle automatically disengages from FSD mode whilst crossing an intersection, creating a hazard for other road users.
