Summary

With FSD engaged, the vehicle did not move when a left-turn arrow went green; the display briefly showed a right-turn signal, and the vehicle completed the left turn only after the driver applied the accelerator.

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 left-turn signal went green; the vehicle stayed stopped.
  • The display briefly showed a right-turn indication; the vehicle turned left after driver accelerator input.

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 April 2026.
  • Whether the wrong-direction indication reflected an internal planning conflict — HMI display is not proof of internal state.
