A lawsuit has been filed in the United States against Tesla after a Tesla Cybertruck pickup truck accident with the Full-Self Driving (FSD) system enabled. The accident occurred in August 2025 in Houston, Texas. The injured driver is seeking more than $1 million in damages.
According to the lawsuit, Cybertruck owner Justine St. Amour was using the FSD system while driving on the Eastex Freeway. When approaching a Y-shaped interchange, the car was supposed to follow the right arc of the road. However, the system, as alleged in the lawsuit, directed the pickup truck straight ahead - towards a concrete barrier.
The driver took control a moment before the impact, but could not avoid the collision. The Cybertruck crashed into the barrier with its front end. The woman was diagnosed with two herniated lumbar discs, a cervical hernia, wrist tendon damage, and neuropathy.
The lawsuit also states that the accident may have been caused by Tesla's decision to use only cameras for the autonomous driving system, without radars and lidars.
Tesla's decisions made Justine's accident inevitable... This company wants drivers to trust their lives to a lie: that the car is capable of driving safely on autopilot. This is not the case - it cannot and does not.
The plaintiffs accuse the company of negligence and are seeking compensation in excess of $1 million. Earlier, motoram.ru reported on the ignition of two Tesla Cybertrucks in a parking lot.
