Summary

With FSD engaged at a busy intersection, the vehicle yielded to a truck and, in doing so, did not proceed during its own green 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).
  • The vehicle yielded to a truck at the intersection.
  • The vehicle did not proceed on its green phase while yielding.

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 truck had right of way; the intent behind the yield (vehicle response is not proof of why).
