Owner's description

Yesterday at about [XXX] I was driving using FSD. I was making a left turn on a green arrow turning from [XXX] onto [XXX] . My car hesitated, then accelerated and then abruptly braked nearly causing me to be rear ended by the SUV behind me who was angrily beeping at me. I had to rapidly accelerate to avoid being hit. The left turn signal was green before during and after my turn. I believe that the sun shining brightly on the traffic light made it difficult for my Tesla to accurately recognize that the turn signal was green. I felt this was very unsafe. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
