Overview
- A Harris County suit by driver Justine Saint Amour seeks more than $1 million, alleging negligence and misleading marketing of Tesla’s driver-assist technology.
- Dashcam video from August 18, 2025 shows the Cybertruck continue straight through cones toward an overpass barrier instead of following a right-hand split in Houston.
- Saint Amour’s filing says she tried to take control after the system failed to navigate the curve, and she reports neck, back, and shoulder injuries while her infant was unhurt.
- The complaint challenges Tesla’s camera-only approach and cites shortcomings in automatic emergency braking and driver-alert systems, and it names Elon Musk personally.
- The case proceeds as NHTSA investigates 2.88 million FSD-equipped Teslas linked to 58 incidents and after a California judge ruled FSD marketing claims were false.
