Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Vehicles using Autopilot or FSD have suddenly pulled across multiple lanes of traffic without warning, in one case leading to a collision.
  • During FSD (Supervised) operation, the steering has made sudden uncommanded inputs, including a case where the wheel jolted and the car spun before stopping in a grassy median.
  • FSD has failed to recognize obstacles such as parked cars, curbs, and poles, resulting in collisions, including one where a passenger was injured.
  • During a lane change, the vehicle continued steering left instead of settling into the lane, struck a median, then bounced back into an adjacent lane and collided with a truck.
  • At night on rural roads, pillar cameras have reported being blocked or blinded, causing Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assistance to stop working without alerting the driver.
  • FSD has failed to identify a road ending at a roundabout, continuing straight instead of turning and leaving the roadway.
