Consumer Description

at night, vehicle incorrectly identified a dog running alongside the vehicle as a human and engaged the automatic breaks causing 5 occupants to suffer minor injuries including whip lash. One occupant was a baby in a car seat. two weeks later also at night, the same event occurred. tesla has refused to provide a means to permanently disable the automatic breaking feature when a human is in control. The software incorrectly identifies a dog as a human, this is a serious software bug that has caused harm to my family. If a human is in control, I am responsible, if Tesla is in control then they should be responsible.
