Find a safety record
Every incident, injury and recall on file, from the national registries that publish them. Search a maker, a model, a town or a reference number — or narrow by what happened. Each record is the registry's own text, reproduced without rewriting, with the reference that locates it at the source. Registries count different things, so a total is a count of FILINGS and never a measure of how dangerous something is. How the record was collected.

Summary: This updated report does not report a new incident or make any material changes to the factual record. It only removes confidential or personally identifying information to make the incident narrative publicly available. The Tesla ADS was stopped behind traffic at an intersection with a red light. A person on a motor scooter (VRU) approached the ADS from behind and moved into a gap directly behind the ADS. As the VRU was directly behind the stopped ADS, the VRU steered right and made contact with the ADS's rear end. Afterwards the VRU hopped the right curb and continued to proceed straight on the sidewalk. Safety monitor and passenger were present in the vehicle.

SV is the subject vehicle — the one whose operator filed the report. CP is the crash partner, the other party. Contact area is where each was struck. NHTSA requires a report for any crash involving the driving system regardless of fault.
Summary: This updated report does not report a new incident or make any material changes to the factual record. It only removes confidential or personally identifying information to make the incident narrative publicly available. The Tesla ADS was proceeding straight in the center lane of the three lane street. As the Tesla ADS was approaching a green light at an intersection, a dog perpendicular to the Tesla vehicle is seen running into the intersection from the right. The Tesla ADS reduced vehicle speed and steered to the left. The dog proceeded to run onto the main road and toward the Tesla ADS's lane and path. The Tesla ADS continued to reduce vehicle speed and biased left in lane. The dog ran toward the Tesla and made contact with the bottom of the Tesla ADS's front right bumper which caused the dog to be pushed to the right, into the lane and path of an approaching van. As the Tesla ADS continued to proceed forward, the dog appeared behind the van and was seen running away from the street, only to turn around and run back toward the street. Safety monitor was present and no passengers were inside the vehicle.
