Summary

With FSD engaged, the vehicle began a lane change too late for an upcoming turn and the driver intervened to keep the intended route.

Written by White Box Autonomy from the sources listed below.

What is observable from the evidence

  • FSD was engaged (curator's first-hand account).
  • The vehicle started the lane change late relative to the upcoming turn.
  • The driver intervened; the concern was a missed turn, not a stated safety conflict.

Automation status

Driving automation engaged — confirmed

Whether the driving-automation feature was engaged is a separate question from whether it caused the event.

System / software version

13.2.9

Causal attribution

Undetermined

The available evidence does not establish a cause. Involvement of a driving-automation system is not the same as its being a cause.

What remains unknown

  • The exact day within March 2026.
  • Whether the turn would have been missed without the intervention.
