"While running its "Full Self-Driving" feature, the unorthodox pickup truck "suddenly and without warning" flew towards the edge of a Houston overpass, according to the lawsuit filed by the owner, Justine Saint Amour. Dashcam footage of the incident, which took place in August 2025, shows the Cybertruck accelerating up the overpass ramp. But as it reaches a curve in the road that connects to a Y-shaped interchange, the vehicle doesn't slow down in time, barrels through traffic cones that separated the lanes, and slams into a concrete sidewall."
"Saint Amour said she disengaged FSD as it sped too quickly up the ramp and tried to take control, but had little time to react. When the vehicle slammed into the concrete barrier, it caused "substantial" injuries to her neck, shoulders and back. She was diagnosed with two herniated discs in her lower back and another in her neck, sprained tendons in her wrist, and numbness and weakness in her right hand, the suit stated."
A Houston driver filed a lawsuit against Tesla after her Cybertruck crashed while using the Full Self-Driving feature in August 2025. Dashcam footage shows the vehicle accelerating up an overpass ramp and failing to slow down for a curve at a Y-shaped interchange. The truck barreled through traffic cones and struck a concrete sidewall, spinning violently. The driver attempted to disengage the system and take manual control but had insufficient time to react. The collision caused substantial injuries including two herniated discs, sprained tendons, and numbness in her right hand. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about Tesla's autonomous driving capabilities and the gap between promised functionality and actual performance.
