Report narrative

What was reported

Summary: This updated report does not report a new incident or make any material changes to the factual record. It only removes confidential or personally identifying information to make the incident narrative publicly available. The Tesla ADS was proceeding straight in the center lane of the three lane street. As the Tesla ADS was approaching a green light at an intersection, a dog perpendicular to the Tesla vehicle is seen running into the intersection from the right. The Tesla ADS reduced vehicle speed and steered to the left. The dog proceeded to run onto the main road and toward the Tesla ADS's lane and path. The Tesla ADS continued to reduce vehicle speed and biased left in lane. The dog ran toward the Tesla and made contact with the bottom of the Tesla ADS's front right bumper which caused the dog to be pushed to the right, into the lane and path of an approaching van. As the Tesla ADS continued to proceed forward, the dog appeared behind the van and was seen running away from the street, only to turn around and run back toward the street. Safety monitor was present and no passengers were inside the vehicle.
