by Tesla Cybertruck collides with parked car in ‘autopilot’ mode
A Tesla Cybertruck owner posted a video showing his vehicle hitting a parked sedan while demonstrating the Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature. Although the damage was mostly cosmetic, the incident has once again raised questions about the reliability of semi-autonomous systems.
According to the owner, he was showing a friend how FSD works when the car miscalculated the parking trajectory. The video shows the Cybertruck approaching a parking spot at an awkward angle, touching another car, and continuing to move, damaging its bumper and fender. Later, the owner repeated the maneuver and confirmed that the system indeed parks at a strange angle.

Tesla has repeatedly emphasized that FSD requires constant driver attention and readiness to take over control. Recently, they even renamed the feature to “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” to highlight this point. However, as seen in this case, not all users fully understand the technology’s limitations.
This incident is another example of how advanced systems require not only improvement but also better user education. Even the most devoted brand supporters, like the author of the post, encounter situations where expectations don’t match reality. On the other hand, the quick resolution of the accident’s consequences confirms the Cybertruck’s structural durability.
