A Bizarre Incident in the Heart of Austin!

In a surprising twist for Tesla's groundbreaking robotaxi service, one of their fully autonomous Model Ys recently collided with a parked vehicle right after dropping off a passenger in Austin, Texas.

Captured by YouTuber DirtyTesla, the incident shows the self-driving Tesla turning and unexpectedly grazing a Toyota's tire. This unusual event raises eyebrows, especially considering it occurred just two weeks after the robotaxi service's launch in the city.

Safety First—But What Went Wrong?

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries or significant damages reported. After the light contact, a safety monitor took control, swapping into the driver's seat to navigate away from the scene. But the big question lingers: why did the Model Y swerve into the parked car instead of driving off normally?
