Summary

With FSD engaged, the vehicle slowed and manoeuvred around an ibis on the roadway, then continued through the intersection on an amber signal.

Written by White Box Autonomy from the sources listed below.

What is observable from the evidence

  • FSD was engaged (curator's first-hand account).
  • An ibis was on the roadway near an intersection.
  • The vehicle slowed and passed the bird without contact, then proceeded through on amber.

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.
  • Why the vehicle slowed — vehicle response is not proof of what was detected.
