Model Y owner says FSD avoided crash with reckless car near NYC
Unconfirmed: a Model Y owner posted on Reddit that, while returning to the New York City area after a long trip with FSD engaged, the system suddenly swerved left. By the author's account, he saw nothing that would justify the maneuver. A car trying to pass at high speed on the right coincided with a garbage truck changing lanes at the same time. The author argues that FSD's swerve created the space needed to avoid a collision. He says more angles are in the comments, without independent verification.
- Author attributes FSD's sudden left swerve to avoiding a collision.
- Car passing at high speed on the right while a truck changed lanes.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official Tesla confirmation or published system data: the case rests on the owner's account of an FSD evasive swerve left near New York.
📈 Upside: According to the author, the left swerve created space in front of the truck that was changing lanes.
📉 Risk: If the swerve was sudden and gave the driver no prior warning, another vehicle in the left lane could be exposed to a collision.
