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 stopped at an intersection with a red light in the left most lane (the adjacent right lane next to the ADS was blocked off with construction barriers). While the ADS remained stopped, a metrobus from the perpendicular left of the ADS made a right turn into the lane nearest the ADS. As the metrobus made the right turn, the bicycle rack in front of the metrobus sideswiped the ADS's left side. Safety monitor and two passengers were present.
