So I find this kinda wild while browsing the Tesla forums. So you can buy Tesla insurance, and your rate is based on your safety score, which the car comes up with based on how you drive it. Tesla used this to allow FSD beta activation early on, so you needed to be a "safe" driver to get the beta. Anyway, the car decides when you make a safety blunder, like heavy breaking, and in this person's case, a forward collision warning.

I am amazed at the collision warnings that I am getting and the undue hesitancy of Autopilot. The one that really bugs me is:
During manual drive: When the car ahead of me is turning off to the right into a driveway or road, etc and I get a collision warning. The only way that I could possible crash into that vehicle is if I purposefully swerved into it! I wouldn't care too much except for the fact it dinged me 2 points on the safety score.
The reason I drove manually is because the Tesla route would have me cut across 3 busy lanes of traffic where the lanes are solid lines (no crossing) or a U-turn on another very busy road. Neither choices make sense. That 2 point drop cost $5 on the Tesla insurance.
Any attorney out there bored and what to set up a class action law suit! Haha!

So the car clearly has some bad programing, and it ends up costing the guy $5 more. What a great system! Is this the future we have to look forward to? Basically guilty by tech?
