Consumer Description
I started my car and drove out of the parking lot of my apartment complex. I was trying to drive to the grocery store. At that time, the car's auto-pilot and navigation features were not on. After turning onto the main road near my apartment complex, I turned on the car's auto-pilot feature. I did not turn on the navigation feature. But the car suddenly started navigating to my work address anyway. I wanted to keep driving straight on the main road, but the car immediately turned left to go into a side street that I was already passing. The car sped up when it turned, and I did not have enough time to change direction or to break. The car steered into a tree off of the main road. I attached photos to the claim form.
