FSD Implicated in Cybertruck Highway Crash Despite Driver Disengagement

Dashcam video of an August 2025 Cybertruck crash on a Houston highway shows the vehicle failing to navigate a curve while FSD was engaged; Tesla claims the driver disengaged 4 seconds before impact, but the plaintiff's attorney argues the system had already failed and the trajectory was uncorrectable.
