Today 8/9/2024, between 5:17 and 5:21 pm, while driving my cars forward collision warning was activated while no vehicle was in front of my but instead to a parked car on the pavement.

I was driving slowly. The car stopped but I did not engage the brake as a Tesla will stop once the foot is removed from the accelerator.

The airbags did not deploy even though there was $17,000 damage to the front of the car. There were no warning signals.
