What was reported

On April [XXX], 2025, a Tesla Model Y, operated by Ford personnel for evaluation purposes, was involved in a rear-end collision while using Autopilot/ Full Self Driving (FSD). The Tesla Model Y was exiting Highway [XXX] North onto [XXX] and continued in FSD as it merged onto [XXX]. As the Tesla Model Y was slowing down due to traffic flow, it was rear-ended by a Volkswagen ID.4. Following the collision, the electronic parking brake was automatically engaged, a "Vehicle may not restart" message was displayed in the center screen, and the driver was unable to restart the vehicle therefore, the vehicle was towed. Video of the accident was recorded and retrieved from the Tesla. The vehicle video shows the Tesla slowing to a stop in line with the flow of traffic when it was rear-ended by the Volkswagen. Ford is not aware of any injuries and understands that neither vehicle experienced an airbag deployment. Ford is reporting this incident under the SGO because the vehicle was towed from the scene and this was a Ford owned and operated vehicle.
